Overview
Mission
Turning Liabilities Into Assets 1 provides Case Management; Life Skill classes; Parent Empowerment classes; Career Readiness classes; Financial Literacy classes; Goal Setting and Conflict Resolution; and Trauma Therapy and connections to community organizations and services for women with and without children who are transitioning from Domestic Violence Shelters to help them reach their desired goal of independent living.
What it reported doing in 2025
Parent Empowerment Program provide guidance, support and resources to parents to help them navigate the challenges and complexities of parenting. Coaches collaborate with parents to develop effective parenting strategies, improve communication with their children, and address specific concerns or issues they may be facing in their role as caregiver. The Parent Empowerment program not only worked with domestic violence survivor parents but also with parents who violated the City Ordinance relating to school attendance. In 2025, 30 parents were ordered to participate in the Parent Empowerment Program. Each parent's truancy case was dismissed due to full compliance with school attendance of 80% and above. Each revealed to the court that the Parent Empowerment classes helped them to regain control of their household which contributed to children attendance to increase.
