PROGRAMMING

We are a trauma-informed staff and community of volunteers, donors, and regional partners.

Understanding adverse childhood experiences, we create a roadmap to increased resiliency and wholeness in mind and body. At The Faine House, the path to healing & financial independence is led by a group of experienced staff members and dedicated community mentors who provide young adults with ongoing support and an array of educational and occupational activities.

Mentorship Program

Shifting away from a one-on-one case management style of service in which all goals were expected to be fulfilled through a single caseworker, The Faine House has turned to our community of dedicated volunteers and leaders for support with each resident’s success.

Each young adult graduating from our program needs healthy, lifelong relationships to outweigh the negative influences they arrived with.

We encircle each young adult with multiple well-matched mentors. This group-style mentorship program is comprised of several safe, kind, and experienced adults acting as guides, coaches, and a network of support. Interactions between a young adult and his/her mentor group is consistent and may include meals, holidays, phone calls, and fun activities together!

8 Dimensions Of Well Being

We seek to treat these young adults like the adults they are, differentiating our program from a group-home setting and teaching things that are immediately applicable in their everyday lives.

Intertwined into their life plan is the 8 Dimensions of Well Being, helping them learn self-care and experience a sense of well-balanced wholeness they may never have experienced before.

The 8 dimensions include:

Emotional
Physical
Occupational
Intellectual
Financial
Social
Environmental
Spiritual
