  • Spiritual Development
  • Mental Health and Development
  • Physical and Nutritional Wellness
  • Healthy Interpersonal Skills
  • Lifeskill's and Social/Civic Development
  • Education and Career Goals

We have found three criterion which influence our women's successes:
  1. Accept responsibility for past, present and future actions.
  2. Choose not to return to former associations, behaviors and lifestyles that affect her in a negative manner.
  3. Be committed to her personalized Plan of Hope Program.
​
Each woman needs to understand that Mt. Hope Sanctuary, Inc. is a Christian ministry and that all Program and House Rules will have a Christ-centered foundation.  

Mt. Hope Sanctuary does not reject any woman due to her beliefs, customs or religion.  On the contrary, it is up to each woman who enters our Program to determine whether or not to accept and implement Mt. Hope Sanctuary's Mission, Vision and Plan of Hope Program into her life.
