Our program includes weekly individual counseling, group work, recovery classes, life-goal coaching, and various life-skills classes for pregnancy, parenting, healthy relationships, finances, exercise and healthy nutrition. The daily schedule is full but also includes time for working on individual goals, going to medical appointments, participating in community events, and visiting with friends and family (depending on the program phase). Residents share in the general upkeep of the home with rotating chores. They also take turns making meals for the group.

At Merci's Refuge women live in a community with one another and often share a room with one other resident unless they have an infant with them. This is intentional as it creates opportunities for residents to learn from each other and also press into conflicts that arise. Most of our wounds in life come from relationships yet without healthy relationships it is extremely hard to experience joy and achieve our goals, at least on a long-term basis. Merci's Refuge is a safe place to begin trusting people and practicing healthy communication, assertiveness, and conflict resolution.
