Transitional Living Center
Providing H.O.P.E for young women
Housing:
A safe and loving family style home. A transitional living home where soul care can begin to bring hope and healing.
Opportunity:
These women will be provided with accountability, structure and spiritual shepherding while living in a small, private community with other single moms and children.
Programming:
Beautiful U's Transitional Living Center will be designed to empower these single women through continued education, vocational & hands on experience. A combination of structured independence, skill training, and life coaching will assist in their opportunity to build a stable future for themselves and their children.
Education:
Each mom entering the program will be given the opportunity to begin, finish or explore their educational options. Everyone learns differently so we want to embrace the way each mom learns in order for her to reach her greatest potential.
The program will require mom's to participate & complete: parenting classes, nutrition, pre-postnatal care, living skills, financing, healthy coping & relationship skills, yoga & art therapy, counseling and bible study.
Each mom will be assigned a case manager who will help develop, design, and implement an individualized "life plan".
