Hear from founder Obias Exilus about why House of Hope began, and the healing we see God bringing to Haitian families.
About House of Hope
Hope, healing and restoration for Haiti.
A Christian counseling ministry bringing accessible, faith-based mental health care to communities across Haiti.
Our mission
Care that helps families heal, rebuild and thrive.
The House of Hope Christian Counseling Center is dedicated to providing critical mental health support to Haiti, particularly in regions ravaged by violence.
Our mission is to offer accessible, faith-based counseling services that empower individuals and families to heal, rebuild, and thrive.
Empowering communities
A network of care beyond our walls.
Our programs equip church leaders and educators with the tools and training they need to better support their communities.
By doing so, we aim to create a network of care and support that extends far beyond our center’s walls.
The problem
Trauma runs deep. Care is hard to find.
Haiti faces a complex web of challenges that make strong mental health care essential. Families carry trauma from:
- 01Natural disasters
- 02Chronic socio-economic hardship
- 03Political instability and social strife
- 04Limited mental health infrastructure
- 05Cultural stigma around mental health
Our strategy
We go where the need is.
We provide mobile counseling services through our team, which travels to community institutions like churches and schools to provide counseling, conduct trainings, and raise awareness about mental health.
With your support, we can establish a robust foundation for essential mental health services, grounded in Christian values and principles. Together, we can bring hope, healing, and restoration to those in need.
