The Board of Directors and staff of Neopolitan Lighthouse are dedicated to promoting the physical, emotional, educational, and practical needs of abused women and children. By working to foster self-esteem and self-reliance among survivors, Neopolitan Lighthouse provides support to women and children as they begin to break the cycles of violence which have affected their lives.

Neopolitan Lighthouse does not discriminate on the basis of socio-economic background, ethnicity, race, religious preference, sexual orientation, or citizenship status. The philosophy of Neopolitan Lighthouse is to provide women and children with a safe environment where empowerment is the main objective.

Our efforts are directed towards quality support services that promote self-reliance in the clients we serve. Every woman, upon entry into the program, will have the opportunity to assess her primary needs for self-sufficiency. Clients then work with case managers who assist with identifying and implementing appropriate goals and objectives.

We at Neopolitan Lighthouse believe the misuse of power and control is at the root of all abusive relationships. We hope that a client’s experience at Neopolitan Lighthouse will enable her to realize that she is not responsible or at fault for her partner’s abusive behavior. Clients will also come to understand that abuse of power and control can occur in any relationship. She can then use this knowledge to evaluate her relationships.

Although society has made some progress in protecting the legal rights of domestic violence survivors, there is much more to be done. Neopolitan Lighthouse is dedicated to educating the public, as well as the legal system, on respecting the rights of survivors. We will do any and all lawful activities to accomplish the aforementioned purposes.
