The Duffy House was created and founded by Christine Eads, mother, sister, daughter, on-air radio talk show host and sexual assault survivor. She considers herself very fortunate to have had a safe and comforting place to go like The Duffy House. Now she is providing that same environment to women and children in need. She had the love and support of her family and friends to get her thru the difficult times but quickly learned in group therapy others were not as fortunate. Several of the survivors in her meeting were either returning to the scene of the crime or the violent house in which they lived simply because they had no where else to go. For 13 years The Duffy House has been Christine's vision and now it is a reality.
Mission Statement: The Duffy House mission is to provide a compassionate safe haven that encourages security, personal growth, happiness and independence for women and their children who are survivors of sexual assault and domestic abuse.
Mantra: Protection, Healing, Love, and Empowerment
Our Vision: To make certain as many women and children as possible, that are in need of a safe environment from violence and abuse, are provided with the protection, tools and education they need to heal, grow and move on with their lives with the confidence and ability to accomplish their dreams.
