Tulsa, OK, US • 20 - 49 Employees
Hospital/Clinic

Resonance promotes and supports the well-being and self-sufficiency of women and their families challenged by the criminal justice system. Our goal is to help female offenders succeed.Eleanor Hill founded Resonance in 1977 as a volunteer-based nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a support system for women facing life's challenges. Having been suddenly widowed when her husband was overseas, Eleanor knew from personal experience the desperate need women have for a support system when facing the challenges of life. She established Resonance in a house on the grounds of St. John's Episcopal Church, and along with a group of volunteers, began offering services that included free listening sessions, on-going support groups and educational workshops.Today, Resonance has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of the Tulsa community and is a dual accredited, gender specific, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment facility. We are working to change Oklahoma's unsettling distinction of having the highest per capita female incarceration rate in the world. Through reentry services, job counseling and partnerships with agencies such as Drug Court, we are doing our best to create a brighter future for our clients, our community, and our state.
