EMOTIONAL - to offer support
Support groups - Our support groups provide an educational
and encouraging environment for women to share their concerns and receive
validation from others.
Abortion, Loss & Grief-Counseling – We offer grief counseling to women
recovering from the loss of an unborn child through abortion or miscarriage.
In addition, we refer women to an optional 10-week support group.
Adoption – We assist women through the very personal process of deciding
to parent or planning for an adoption. While providing counseling support,
we can make referrals for legal advice and financial aid that will assist
interested women in developing an adoption plan so that they may place their
baby in a loving home.
Interpersonal Relationships – By providing a functional community living
experience, we teach and promote skills in communication, problem solving,
and relationship building.
Lifestyle Choices – We encourage sexual abstinence as women
pursue their own emotional healing from broken relationships. Yet,
we also provide responsible education about STD prevention and birth
control. Women may only entertain male guests in the common living
area of the home, and must keep curfew in the evening. Weekend passes are
restricted to the House Manager’s approval. Alcohol, profanity, and
impropriety are prohibited.
Recovery - We empower women to overcome their addictions
to drug and alcohol by providing a clean and sober living environment. If
a woman with an addiction problem has not completed a recovery program,
we will refer her to a Perinatal Recovery Program during her maternity
stay. We encourage her to take responsibility for her own step work,
attendance at meetings, and sponsorship.
Spirituality - We are a non-denominational and non-religious
organization. We encourage women to utilize their own spiritual support
systems to cope with the many stresses that they may be encountering
during this difficult time in their lives. In conjunction with the
12-Steps in Recovery, we respect each woman's spiritual process and
journey. In addition, we invite community worship centers to support
them.
