RESTORATION SPECIALISTS

A TEAM OF AMAZING AND HIGHLY SKILLED INDIVIDUALS

Restoration Specialist teams in both Lancaster and Berks County facilitate daily programs at The Harbor &The Refuge, creating a warm, safe, and caring environment for residents.

Each specialist (“coach”) brings her experience and knowledge to the home as she supports the residents and program team. Because our program offers 24/7 care, a specialist is on-site at all times, including overnight. Restoration Specialists are trained to apply trauma-informed principles in every aspect of their work.

Our direct care staff are an essential part of our work; we cannot operate without their commitment and skill. We love to see how they passionately serve the survivors on a daily basis!
