Union Gospel Mission: Center for Women & Children
Located in Coeur d'Alene (83814), UGM's Center for Women & Children provides a state-of-the-art residential haven for single women and mothers escaping domestic abuse, trauma, addiction, and homelessness across a 50-mile radius in North Idaho.
How UGM Center for Women & Children Helps You Heal
Unlike short-term emergency stays, UGM offers a comprehensive, long-term pathway (typically 18 to 24 months) completely free of charge. This model addresses the core emotional wounds of relational abuse, codependency, and trauma, empowering women to permanently break cycles of violence for themselves and their children.
✦ Safe, Secure Residential Suites
A beautiful, secure facility on Haycraft Ave in Coeur d'Alene with dedicated family suites where mothers and children stay together in safety, complete with daily nutritious meals, laundry, and round-the-clock safety staff.
✦ Holistic Trauma Recovery Curriculum
In-depth therapy, emotional processing, boundary-setting, and grief counseling designed to dismantle the shame, fear, and psychological manipulation planted by abusive partners.
✦ On-Site Children's Enrichment & Daycare
Trauma-informed youth advocates provide homework assistance, specialized play therapy, motor-skill development, and emotional regulation while mothers attend counseling or job training.
✦ Co-Occurring Addiction & Sobriety Support
Many survivors turn to alcohol or substances to cope with severe abuse. UGM offers compassionate, medically supported recovery programs without separating mothers from their kids.
✦ Career, Financial & Educational Readiness
Vocational training, resume writing, computer literacy, debt reconciliation, and credit repair to establish absolute financial independence from abusers.
✦ Aftercare & Independent Housing
Long-term transition support ensuring that program graduates secure sustainable permanent housing, solid kinship networks, and continuing mentorship.
