Our mission
Halcyon Home’s mission is to provide a safe haven and comprehensive support services for women and children who have been affected by domestic violence.

Our goal is to foster an environment of encouragement, compassion, and support, empowering those we serve to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
About our Founder
Karyl Chastain Beal founded Halcyon Home out of a desire to help those in need. Her journey began when a close friend confided in her about a terrifying experience with her husband. Karyl was determined to help her friend and her children escape the abusive situation. However, she quickly discovered that there were no local resources in Thomasville.
As she shared her friend’s story with others, Karyl was struck by how many had also endured abuse. This realization highlighted the critical need for a local shelter in Thomasville. Determined to make a difference, Karyl began reaching out to the community for support, and in 1994, Halcyon Home was born.
