EDUCATIONAL - to teach life skills

Newborn Care – In addition to pre-natal education, we provide breast-feeding and baby classes, as well as hands-on experience in newborn care, so that our mothers-to-be can feel confident in their ability to meet their baby’s needs. Visiting nurses will also provide follow-up consultation when a mother returns to our home after her baby’s delivery. Mothers-at-risk may be referred to child development specialists for additional supervision and support as needed.

Follow-up home visits - The first few months with a newborn can be scary and isolating. Through our home visits, we continue to offer our support, encouragement, supervision, and assistance to new mothers.

Parenting – Our attachment parenting classes and curriculum resources highlight maternal-child bonding, normal child development, and positive discipline.

Finances – Residents receive instruction and assistance in budgeting and financial planning, while also making a contribution toward receiving our services according to their specific financial means.

Nutrition – Women receive economic support and dietary instruction in purchasing and preparing nutritional foods for their prenatal and postpartum needs.

Extracurricular – We welcome volunteers interested in providing ancillary services that enhance our women’s self-esteem, such as music, dance, art, drama, photography, crafts, exercise, massage, or spa services.
