Who We Are
My Chosen People Inc. is a 501-C (3) non-profit organization that's been
serving since 2012, women who are enrolled in a substance abuse program
located in Louisville, Kentucky. We also service individuals and families within
the community who suffer with substance use disorders, and mental health
issues who are homeless and in crisis.
What We Do
The focus of My Chosen People is to equip women with the skills needed to
support themselves and their children. We are currently facilitating 6- to 8-
week program sessions at Dismas Charities for formerly incarcerated women.
We assist these women for re-entry back to society. Our goal is for every
woman we serve to remain sober and embrace a healthy lifestyle. Making
sure they have healthcare and the proper resources. Upon completing the
program, each individual is assigned a target case manager, peer support,
and therapist who will provide assistance for up to one year—or as long as
needed.
The Why
We believe that every woman deserves a second chance at life. My Chosen
People aim to be the missing link that supports each mother on their journey.
We value life and hope both mother and child can recover and embrace a
healthy lifestyle. My Chosen People offer mental health and relapse
prevention sessions, dental care assistance, job search and placement
services, housing, and parenting classes. We are committed to collaboration
and work closely with our community partners. Here are some of the services
