About
the Maria Mangual Program
The María Mangual program offers opportunities for growth, empowerment, and connection to anyone in need of case management services. While much of our work centers survivors of gender-based violence, this program is also a welcoming space for community members seeking support, resources, and stability.
Through psychoeducational and psychosocial services such as Survivor Leadership, participants enhance self-esteem, communication, and advocacy skills. In Survivor Financial Wellness, they gain tools and confidence to take charge of their financial future.
The program also provides rapid re-housing services for survivors of gender-based violence. These home-based supports aim to help participants secure safe and stable housing quickly, while also providing ongoing case management to foster long-term stability and self-sufficiency. We walk alongside survivors as they rebuild their lives, ensuring that housing becomes a foundation for healing and growth.
Rooted in Mujeres’ mission, the María Mangual Program carries forward a legacy of resilience, dignity, and hope.
