Mission Statement

Josephine’s Place is a center for women sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth. The mission of Josephine’s Place is to provide space that will facilitate the empowerment of women, based on: building a trust that promotes a freedom to be open and honest; creating an environment in which women are to be respected; providing a space that will be reflective of the needs of women as they themselves have expressed them. The fulfillment of this mission will result in each woman having a sense of being respected, affirmed and supported.

Description
