Services (cont)
Educational
Counseling
We believe in encouraging the women we serve to gain a better perspective on life and to get a good education. We work with local schools such as Hardee County Adult Education and South Florida State College so that the women can get their high school diploma, GED and/or an AA in college or complete a BA or certificate program. We have had many to get GEDs, CNA and some have gone on to be LPNs. Others have received their AAs while in our care. We are so proud of the ones who further their education!
Vocational
Training
As a part of rehabilitation domestic violence survivors, we assess needs and set goals for employment, education and personal achievements for themselves and their children. We coordinate with our Partner Career Source Heartland to gain employable skills and search for employment. We provide training through our counseling services. We train in reception and office systems, IT and horticulture.
Parenting
Gillespie's counseling center uses Total Transformation series for parenting, along with some of the Elijah House Materials to help transform parents. We use pre-evaluations and post-evaluations to determine if the parent is learning in this process. We teach them about their children, what makes them act the way they do, why the children aren't listening to the parent, parenting roles and accountability issues, 27 tools to change their child's behavior, what to do after the child acts out, and how to stop bad behaviors before it starts.
