Almost Home provides a safe, structured, compassionate environment for teenage moms to live while they learn how to become great parents and successful adults.
Teen moms in the Transitional Living Program are teamed with professional staff,
who help them develop the skills they need to become self-sufficient.
What we emphasize:
- Education- The young mothers at Almost Home are required to complete high school or obtain a GED.
- Positive parenting- Moms must attend on- and off- site classes on positive and healthy parenting, effective discipline, and child development so they can become great parents and role models for their children.
- Emotional well-being - Moms participate in individual and group therapy to help them cope with new responsibilities, the stress of a radically changing lifestyle, and to address the scars left by past traumas.
- Independent living skills- Moms must attend on-site one-hour life and job skills classes four nights a week. Skills include financial planning, seeking out resources, computer literacy, nutrition, household management, and instruction on how to search, apply and interview for a job.
- Employment readiness- We help teen moms learn workplace norms and appropriate conduct so they can have a successful start to their professional lives.
