Our Philosophy
“Wahkohtowin” to create a safe, holistic, community style healing home that promotes Kindness, Compassion and Understanding, while working as one to bring families back together.
Geoffery’s Garden is a family centered supportive housing project for parents involved with Child and Family Services. We work within the community and use a collaborative approach. Our intention is to be a resource for parents and bridge the gap of social and cultural barriers in healing and reunification; we do this by connecting parents with people and programs that are beneficial to their specific needs. In addition to providing a safe, supportive, and family friendly environment, Geoffery’s Garden offers an environment free of drugs and alcohol. Parents are expected to remain completely free from all mind-altering substances and all parents are randomly/weekly drug screened.
Through a collaboration of services within the community:
Geoffery’s Garden is grateful to work in collaboration with organizations and individuals who support our families so that they can begin a new journey of Healing and Reunification.
