Overview of The Harmony House

The Harmony House is a 48-capacity advocacy and day center located at 2235 Highway 17 in Richmond Hill, Georgia. Directed by Dana Chapman, the facility has operated for 21 years as a multidisciplinary hub for survivors of trauma, including child abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking. The site is centrally located with a Walk Score of 43 and is situated approximately 20 miles south of Savannah.

Regulatory oversight documentation is limited, with only two state reports on file between 2017 and 2019. Given the specialized advocacy and intervention model of this facility, the citations-per-inspection rate in available health-licensing data is zero. Because the most recent public records are over six years old, individuals and referring professionals should contact the center directly to verify current accreditation and operational status.

The care model utilizes a multidisciplinary team to provide evaluations and interventions for severe physical and sexual trauma. Beyond crisis intervention, the center coordinates long-term prevention and treatment programming, including specific support for victims of human trafficking. The facility maintains standard business hours from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday, while offering a 24/7 hotline for immediate crisis support.

Supportive services are tailored to the needs of child and adult survivors within a trauma-informed framework. While the facility is licensed as a 48-capacity center, its primary function is advocacy and clinical evaluation rather than standard long-term residential care. The campus is located approximately 12 miles from St. Joseph’s Hospital, providing access to emergency medical services if required during evaluations.

Families and medical professionals seeking specialized intervention should reach out to the administrator to discuss the referral process and current service availability. During an initial consultation, it is advisable to ask for the center’s current trauma-informed care protocols and to confirm the credentials of the multidisciplinary team. Survivors and guardians can utilize the 24-hour hotline to establish immediate contact with a trauma advocate before visiting the physical location.
