Educational:
Education will be a large part of a resident's experience at Jackie's House. After some "getting to know you time," counsel will be offered for possible educational goals for the resident, for the immediate future and for a future job or career. Steps can then be planned out as a way to have the education happen. Then, the process of achieving the goals can begin to happen at Jackie's House.

Recreational:
We recognize that we were created body, soul, and spirit, and as such, Jackie's House encourages each woman, with help and guidance from staff, to develop a plan for recreation including, exercise, hobbies, outdoor activities, and other leisure time activites that will help foster emotional balance. Re-creation is an important part of the life at Jackie's House. The property itself will function wonderfully in re-creation, because it is situated so nicely with a large back yard and access to a small river.

Counseling:
Counseling is the effort by two or more people to bring understanding, wisdom, and guidance to a situation so that a person can make the right decision, or the best possible decision at the time. Counseling is an effort, it takes time and energy. Hopefully the outcome of the effort is to place a person in a better situation, concerning understanding and motivation, then before they entered into counseling. Hopefully the person receiving the counseling will listen and do what was offered. Counseling will be offered in as many parts of the residents life as the need requires. Many resources are available and will be used as they are seen appropriate. Special assistance will be available for addressing the effects of addiction, trauma, and grief associated with substance abuse and domestic violence.
