Jabbok Support Services provides support to Women Ex-Offenders and Women with Mental Health issues nationally. Our practical services are aimed at removing barriers and re-integration into the community. We help these women build a new life by helping to provide them with support and skills to have a fresh start to a more meaningful life, and as such avoid re-offending. Jabbok Support Services provides a listening ear, encouragement and empowerment.
JSS also, provides support to women with mental distress, who have been stigmatised and trapped into thinking there is nothing out there for them and perhaps even thinking of taking their life. We support these women by helping them to build their confidence, self esteem, and assertiveness, and so integrate into society. This project is called "Let's talk about it".
Some interrelated issues we deal with are:
- Mental distress
- Drug addiction
- Prison issues
- Family issues
- Domestic violence
- Financial and emotional problems
Help yourself by helping others. Jabbok Support Services relies on the co-operation, contribution and generosity of those who are passionate about their support work towards Women Ex-offenders and Women with Mental Health issues. Your help goes a long way in educating, employing, and rehabilitating these women. You are simply empowering them.
Our mission, as regards to empowering vulnerable women, is to secure the financial and mental resources of vulnerable women on their journey from send-down to economic empowerment. At Jabbok we heartily offer vulnerable women the opportunity to pursue their individual gifts and talents, and as such increasing training and job opportunities for them and developing their personal well being.
