In 1980, Stepping Stones opened its doors as
Northern Arizona's first shelter for women and their children.
We provide a blend of therapeutic & advocacy responses
to women and their children seeking help from
many forms of abuse, victimization and homelessness.

Stepping Stones provides:

• Free 24/7 emergency shelter
• Transitional housing
• Educational and support groups
• Job training
• 24/7 live HelpLine
• Guidance and support from specially trained advocates
  

All of these resources are supported by our generous community partners, donors, volunteers and the Stepping Stones Social Enterprise Projects.
