RESTORATION SPECIALISTS

A TEAM OF AMAZING AND HIGHLY SKILLED INDIVIDUALS

Restoration Specialists facilitate the daily programmatic operations at The Harbor, creating a warm, safe, and caring environment for the residents.

Each specialist brings her own experience and knowledge to the home as she provides support to the residents and administration on a daily basis. Because we are a 24/7 care-safe home and program, 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 coaching staff is one of the most essential parts of the work we do and without them, our ministry would not operate. We are blessed to have each one of our Restoration Specialists and love to see how they passionately serve the survivors on a daily basis!
