2025 - 2026 HEALING IN ACTION
Every number represents a woman, child, or family who received support, safety, resources, and hope during a critical moment in their journey. Through trauma-informed care, advocacy, restorative practices, and community partnerships, So Far So Close continues to help individuals move beyond crisis and toward healing, stability, and self-sufficiency.
WHY WE EXIST
So Far So Close was founded from lived experience and a commitment to ensuring that no woman or child has to choose between abuse and homelessness. Through trauma-informed support, advocacy, and community partnerships, we help families move from crisis to safety, healing, and long-term stability.
OUR
MISSION
At So Far So Close, we believe that healing is possible and that no woman, child, or family should have to navigate trauma alone. Founded from lived experience, we support individuals impacted by domestic violence, family separation, incarceration, and other life-altering experiences through trauma-informed support, restorative practices, advocacy, and community-centered resources. Our mission is to help survivors move beyond survival, restore stability, rediscover their strength, and build healthier futures for themselves and future generations.
Programs Designed for Healing, Growth & Restoration
At So Far So Close, we believe that no woman or child should have to choose between abuse and homelessness. Our programs are designed to support women, children, and families impacted by domestic violence, trauma, family separation, and incarceration by providing trauma-informed support, advocacy, restorative practices, and critical community resources.
Through our flagship Rediscover YOU program, we help women and children navigate the dangerous and vulnerable period immediately after leaving an abusive environment. By connecting families with emergency resources, safe housing solutions, transportation, essential needs, and supportive services during the critical first 72 hours, we work to prevent homelessness, promote safety, and create pathways toward long-term stability and healing.
We also recognize that many women impacted by domestic violence become involved in the criminal legal system as a result of trauma, coercion, survival-based decisions, or abusive relationships. Our programs support women rebuilding their lives after incarceration so they can heal, restore their sense of identity, strengthen family connections, and avoid returning to the environments that placed them at risk in the first place. Through compassionate support and community partnership, we help survivors move beyond crisis, reclaim their power, and build futures rooted in safety, hope, and opportunity.
Rediscover YOU
HEALING, SAFETY, & STABILITY
Rediscover YOU is So Far So Close's signature trauma-informed program designed to support women and children impacted by domestic violence, abuse, family separation, and homelessness. Founded from lived experience, the program focuses on helping survivors safely transition from crisis to stability by providing advocacy, emotional support, life coaching, and connections to critical community resources.
Through community partnerships and available donations, Rediscover YOU helps women and children access emergency support during the critical first 72 hours after leaving an abusive environment, reducing the risk of homelessness, re-victimization, and family instability. Participants receive personalized support focused on healing trauma, rebuilding self-worth, strengthening family connections, and creating pathways toward long-term safety, independence, and hope.
Freedom NOW
ADVOCACY, SUPPORT & RESTORATION
Freedom NOW supports currently incarcerated individuals and their families through emotional support, advocacy, personal development, and resource connection. The program was created to ensure that individuals impacted by incarceration are not forgotten and have access to encouragement, information, and supportive relationships while navigating their journey.
Through trauma-informed coaching, pen pal support, educational resources, and advocacy efforts, Freedom NOW helps participants strengthen their sense of purpose, maintain hope, develop personal accountability, and prepare for successful reentry. The program also works to connect incarcerated individuals and their loved ones with resources and community support while uplifting stories that raise awareness about the human impact of incarceration and family separation.
We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has to go through to achieve that beauty.
