Halfway home

Why we do it

Homelessness — is an additional factor that contributes to development of women’s addiction. Homeless women can often start from alcohol consumption, trying to cover up a severe stress, ease pain, forget misery or warm up. Addiction — is a chronical disease, but you keep living with it, avoiding alcohol abuse. Women less often than men are asking for help, often they try to hide their addictions and cope with them alone. Women with addictions more often try to hide their problems in order to deal with them alone. It’s crucial that every woman with difficulties would never stay alone, but instead could come and receive the help she needs, where she would feel safe.
