Support Olivia's Place: A New Beginning

We are Dana Turk and Sherri Ward, professional counselors in the substance abuse and mental health fields for over 20 years. More importantly, we are followers of Jesus Christ with a God-ordained passion for helping young women faced with substance addictions and mental health challenges. We aim to affect permanent change in our residents that restores hope, builds self-esteem, and promotes independence, utilizing a combination of 12-step recovery and religious community

We provide housing and vocational support as our residents secure employment and pursue desired educational opportunities. Attendance at 12-step meetings and religious services, as well as leadership responsibilities in the residence, are required.

We provide transportation to local meetings and services, employment and appointments for our residents. We juggled rides with our personal vehicles for several months before we received funds from a generous donor to purchase a van. It has been extremely difficult to manage transportation since our van has been disabled.
