Experts estimate approximately 20-30% of the adult
homeless population suffers from chronic or severe psychiatric disabilities. |
Founded
in 1988, Casa Milagro offers a structured home environment for up to 18 months to
help women who have a history of psychiatric disabilities learn to life more
independently. In a team-oriented environment, each woman contributes to the
well-being of the group. Through extensive case management, we teach and reinforce
the value of a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, nutrition and adherence
with medical regimens and drug therapies.
We also link each woman with the community
resources she needs to progress toward a healthier, more independent lifestyle.
When a woman leaves, she can continue to receive support and encouragement through
our After Care program, which includes visitation, art therapy and interaction.
