Homeless Shelter Macon GA, Domestic Violence | Macon Rescue Mission

Women’s Domestic Violence Program

The Dove Center, our Women’s Division, is a residential program for female victims of domestic violence and their children. We provide a safe place where women can find healing and regain independence. Our goal with this six-month program is to empower the women to become self-sufficient, as we share the hope of Jesus Christ. Residents gain self-esteem, life skills, and Biblical knowledge. We teach them to recognize the cycle of violence. Most importantly, they find healing and the strength to move forward through our services, such as:

• Regular chapel services
• Support groups and counseling
• Life skills classes
• Children’s program
• Classes on how to change the pattern of abuse
• On-site GED classes
• On site addiction recovery services including AA and NA meetings
• Assistance obtaining housing and jobs
• Collaboration with other organizations to provide additional services
• Apartment furnishings provided to program graduates

“Since entering the Dove Center program I have gained a peace and comfort that I have never known before. I have gained self-respect, pride and dignity. I now have a life that can be lived without abuse, drugs and alcohol. I am so grateful to be a part of such a blessed place. Because of Jesus and the Macon Rescue Mission I finally have my life back and I now live for Jesus.”
-Sonya, program graduate
