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.
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. Villa Majella offers a drug and alcohol free living
environment as a basis for encouraging emotional stability and health.
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.
