To promote and build healthy relationships with mothers and her children.

To create an environment that will allow families to feel empowered by having the necessary services provided to them.

To have minimal or no child protection agency involvement, giving mothers a second chance to succeed in life.

The stress and turmoil of a removal of a child is very detrimental and can push a parent to relapse causing a vicious cycle.

Our Mission

To provide mothers with an environment that will help them stop using harmful substances while raising their children and be the role models that children expect and deserve.

Our Services

We assist with supportive housing and permanent supportive services which include:

Drug/alcohol preventive services
Social services
Counseling services
Parenting services
Vocational services.

These services will assist in making mothers more independent and self-sufficient while preparing them for the cycles of life .
