“One of the most surprising things about coming to The Refuge Center is that what brought me in the door isn’t necessarily what’s kept me here. What brought me in was the immediacy of the loss of my father and the grieving process. But what’s kept me coming back is the holistic approach — asking, ‘How would you like to grow in your mental health?’ and 'What burdens might be holding you back?’”
— Jacob

Jacob came to The Refuge Center carrying the weight of grief. What he found was care that looked beyond the moment of loss — counseling that invited growth, healing, and freedom from the burdens holding him back.

‼️Listen up, people pleasers‼️

You can’t, won’t, and don’t have to please everyone. Like Eric, check in with yourself first, then go and help others.

“Oh, I can help with that!” We are so grateful for Julie Weaver and her family, who were one of two families who generously donated towards the water feature on our back patio. We could not do what we do without donors like them seeing a need, and doing what they can to see it fulfilled!
