Learn about our services
-
We provide a safe home for pregnant and parenting young moms and babies that do not have a stable or permanent place to live. Women 12-21 years of age are provided with 24 hour direct supervision and guidance. Moms and babies can remain in the maternity home for up to 2 years after their baby is born.
-
Pregnant and parenting young moms 18 years of age and older are provided with a safe and secure apartment, often for the first time in their lives. This provides stability for young families to learn budgeting, life skills, and practice parenting in a safe environment. They can remain in the program up to 3 years.
-
While living at Mother’s Refuge, each resident is required to pursue continued education. Residents have opportunities for spiritual growth, counseling, and self-improvement. Most importantly, it’s an opportunity for a new beginning.
-
When a young woman arrives at our home, we coordinate appointments to ensure that mothers and their babies receive required medical care efficiently and as medically directed throughout and following pregnancy.
-
Residents work through an interactive five-step program to enhance their life skills. Classes assist in improving parenting, infant care, money management, mental and physical health, and community awareness.
-
Mother’s Refuge continues to provide former residents with emotional support and needed baby or household items. Once a mother has graduated from the program, she is always welcome to reach out to the home for comfort and community.
