Lincoln, Neb. - In partnership with Lincoln Indian Center, St. Monica’s launched a new residential treatment program specifically for Native American women and their children on Thursday, June 10, 2021. 

The program, Women Are Sacred, provides a safe place for women to come and get well - to make positive changes, gain new skills and discover their strengths. The purpose of Women Are Sacred is to empower women to feel they are worth their recovery.

Mary Barry-Magsamen is the Chief Executive Officer for St. Monica’s and has been working in collaboration with leaders at Lincoln Indian Center. “When two organizations and two cultures genuinely try to do the right thing - and the best thing - it’s the best for the women who need it,” said Magsamen.

The trauma-informed residential treatment program offers 30+ hours of programming each week: individual treatment plans, evidence-based therapies, life and coping skills training, parenting education, and support services.

Staff work with women 24/7, assisting them as they encounter the challenges of recovery and parenting while living with their children in a treatment setting for up to six months.

The onsite licensed childcare program is called Honoring Our Children and serves infants and children while their mothers are in treatment.
