For Families
You cannot change someone for them. But you can love wisely.
One person's crisis often affects the whole family. Parents, spouses, children, and friends may feel fear, exhaustion, guilt, anger, and confusion.
How we can help
The Mission seeks to support families — helping them understand what is happening, keep wise boundaries, and hold on to hope in God.
- listen to the situation and help identify possible next steps;
- explain how life at the Mission works and what the rules are;
- help distinguish love from actions that support destructive behavior;
- pray together and speak about the hope of the Gospel;
- help, where possible, with reconciliation and restoring relationships;
- explain why change cannot be imposed against a person's will.
Mercy does not remove wise boundaries.
