What We Do

We help pregnant teens and young women so that they may deliver healthy babies and grow into independent, successful young adults. Clients come to use with a wide variety of risk factors: histories of abuse, school failure, multiple home transitions, and mental health needs. Most of the girls who come to our program are homeless or living in poverty. Many are victims of abuse, neglect, and family violence. Many of them have issues of distrust and low self-esteem, and lack family support and resources. We provide personalized, professional care to help them attain a healthy life of autonomy and success.

Our Strength-Based Approach

We help clients develop empathy, learn how to anticipate outcomes of their actions, see alternatives to negative behaviors, and recognize that they have choices when making decisions. We encourage them to make healthy, beneficial changes so that they can further their education, heal through counseling, and build a support system and trusting relationships with positive role models.
