<p><strong>ABOUT CITY MISSION RECOVERY PROGRAM</strong></p> <p>City Mission in Washington, Pa. is a <strong>faith-based homeless shelter and recovery program</strong>. From its founding in a small storage room in 1941, City Mission exists today “to share Christ, to shelter, to heal, and to restore the homeless to independent living – without discrimination.” The program offers <strong>counseling and case management</strong> in addition to serving meals and being an immediate source of shelter for homeless men and women (and their children).</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Recovery programming at City Mission aims to alleviate homelessness while simultaneously addressing more underlying and deep-seated issues of substance dependency, mental health, incarceration, abandonment and isolation, and other disabilities.</p> <p>To overcome these issues, men and women receive comprehensive support in a few main areas of need. <strong>Biblically-inspired counseling</strong> paired with <strong>cognitive enhancement therapy (CET)</strong> helps participants find solutions to their issues and build coping skills. The one alum polled by Rehabs.com to date also indicated clients may also be <strong>introduced to 12-Step</strong>.</p> <p>Those interested in earning their GED, furthering their education, and increasing their employability may benefit from <strong>tutoring and job skills training</strong>. In Pennsylvania, the mission is among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/PA17.pdf" target="_blank">34.1 percent of facilities</a> to provide employment counseling or training for clients. City Mission also offers <strong>urgent medical care and practical legal advice</strong> by partnering with local community agencies and organizations.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>While there is currently no information provided by the organization regarding its treatment staff, <strong>volunteer efforts</strong> do play an important role in everyday functions at City Mission.
