Jessica

Jessica found herself having to reestablish her life from California when her mother, a Navy Veteran, moved her and her brothers to Virginia to escape her physically abusive husband regain control of their lives and future. Always a good student no matter what life brought her; Jessica was often overlooked and neglected by her family members. It was because of this neglect that Jessica was drawn to unhealthy and inappropriate relationships for the attention she wasn’t getting at home. Realizing the family needed assistance dealing with their trauma and support in securing permanent housing, Jessica’s mom reached out to Samaritan House. Working with her assigned Children’s Advocate, Jessica was assessed and referred to Military Integrative Therapy. During sessions with her art therapist, Jessica was able to express her feelings and overcome some of the troubling experiences and memories from her past. Specifically, Jessica was able to face the chaos surrounding her life and identify the choices she had to make in order to develop positive, healthy boundaries within her relationships. Since her involvement with Samaritan House, Jessica has flourished at school and was recently accepted to Old Dominion University where she is pursuing a career in social work in hopes of making a positive impact on the lives of others who have experienced violence at home.

Ashley

During her impressionable pre-teen years, Ashley suffered on-going verbal and emotional abuse from her father. During such an important developmental time for a young girl trying to establish her self- identity, her father’s abuse left Ashley with emotional scars. Determined to create a happy and supportive environment for her children, Ashley’s mom turned to Samaritan House to find a job and a place to live. While Ashley’s mom worked with her assigned advocate on job placement and permanent housing stabilization, Ashley was assigned a Samaritan House Children’s Advocate who was devoted to helping Ashley work through her past trauma and to help her establish healthy goals for the future. Ashley’s advocate realized that because of the verbal and emotional trauma she had experienced in her young life, she had formed harmful habits that affected her personal health. Like her cousin, Jessica, Ashley was referred to therapy and was aided in working through her trauma via their art therapy program. Art therapy has helped Ashley build the self-esteem she was lacking, as well as develop coping mechanisms to deal with stressors she may encounter in life. Ashley has been working hard in hopes to apply for the health sciences academy, her aspirations are to be a nurse and work with cancer patients.
