About the Elizabeth Stone House
The Elizabeth Stone House, located in Roxbury, Massachusetts, helps women and families rebuild their lives after experiencing domestic violence, mental illness, substance abuse, and other forms of trauma. The Stone House provides residential and non-residential programs to women and their children, as well as an emergency shelter, for those who are in immediate need.
Our Mission
The Elizabeth Stone House is committed to countering the effects of trauma and breaking the cycles of violence and abuse — one family at a time. Through residential and community support services, the Stone House helps families heal and women reclaim control over their lives.
Our Philosophy
The Elizabeth Stone House believes that violence against women and children has devastating effects on mental health and self-esteem. Addiction and mental health issues can be coping mechanisms that develop from experiencing trauma, and services that address recovery and healing must recognize the relationship these issues have with one another. The Stone House specializes in working with survivors of abuse and violence who suffer from additional mental-health and substance-abuse problems.
Simply providing a safe space is not enough to address the origin of the struggles that afflict women and children who are survivors of abuse and trauma. The Stone House works in partnership with women to develop practical, step-by-step goals that tackle the complexity of issues that each is facing.
The Elizabeth Stone House is dedicated to providing services that are comprehensive, multi-cultural, and humanistic and respect the dignity of each individual and family. The Stone House honors independence and knows that what works for one person may not work for another. The Stone House builds on the strengths of each individual and family and celebrates milestones and accomplishments on each woman’s road to self-determination and healing.
The Elizabeth Stone House believes that by helping one another, women can overcome obstacles that may seem insurmountable. Peer support is one of the most effective ways to make and maintain changes in individuals, families, and communities, and it is the foundation of the Stone House philosophy.

It was the title here that caught my eye after a search. 'Why' is such a wonderful question to muse over...
This is a great way of blending the gifts of the wild places with such a fitting cause.
I write about this on my own blog too under the link of 'Adventuring for Another Reason'.
Have a terrific hike this July!
