The Philosophy That Makes Heathers Haven Work

Heathers Haven has been successful with over thirty percent of the women who have ever entered the house now being clean sober productive citizens of their community.

Some people have the mistaken idea that this is a virtuous work because it is someone rescuing the unfortunate homeless of our society.

Heathers Haven does not work by rescuing women who are victims of the ills of our society.

Heathers Haven works by requiring women to rescue themselves from a destructive lifestyle.

Heathers Haven provides a safe place and requires women to go through processes of changing their own destructive way of living.

Those at Heathers Haven who do not start the process are required to leave to make room for someone who will work on their own recovery.

We do the world a great disservice when we teach that it is a virtue to rescue someone from the natural consequences of their own selection of a destructive lifestyle.
