Hope Womens Center

Our education program is designed with three goals in mind: to build relationships, to impart knowledge, and to encourage behavioral changes. Classes are a mix of life skills and faith based topics such as parenting, English as a second language, anger management, grief and loss, health and nutrition, healing from trauma, recovery from abuse, healthy relationships, crafts, parent-child bonding, and job readiness. Our mentoring program provides trained mentors and staff to meet with clients to discuss unplanned pregnancy, domestic abuse, unemployment, homelessness, prostitution/rape, family conflict, substance abuse recovery, and other life challenges. All services are free and clients can meet with a mentor or join a support group as often as they like. Our Hope Heals program provides women with free brief solutions based therapy. Our Hope at Work program provides classes, job coaching, and career readiness and support. Programs are free but are incentivized to clients by providing client points for attending classes that can be used in our womens boutique for material resources and utility assistance. Our womens boutiques are stocked with diapers, wipes, toiletries, cleaning supplies, food, household items, clothing, and baby items. We also offer a cash utility assistance program and free pregnancy testing and support. Our Hope Initiatve for Healthy Families program works with birth moms whose children are in foster care or at risk of foster and is focused on early intervention, creating health home environments, and support for moms working on re-unification. Other programs include our childrens programs (free for ages 0-5 while mom is attending programs), maternity home (housing pregnant or newly parenting women for up to two years), and our Thrift Store (employment and job training for women in our maternity home).
