Our next residential program
will be November 5-19 in Berea
In this immersive two-week program, women gain tools to define, pursue and achieve their goals.
Women begin by rebuilding their self-esteem, which gives them a new sense of purpose and direction. Then they’re ready to set goals and make plans to reach them. Some will pursue a new job or go back to school, while others will work toward financial independence. All will gain insights that lead to greater self-reliance and healthier relationships.
“NOSW has opened up a whole new world to me. It’s a completely new and different kind of life for me now.”
—Tami Gentry, NOSW 2016 Graduate

Explore the Non-Residential Program
Feedback from women desiring change, but unable to leave home, led us to develop our three-day non-residential program. The focus is on self-esteem, integrative health, and setting and achieving new personal goals.
