• School supplies
• On-site licensed Child Development Center with Early Head Start Programming

The program encapsulates everything from:
• Classes regarding:
Upon arriving at Seton Home, most young mothers are suffering from chronic trauma related to poverty, violence, abuse and neglect, with symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and maladaptive coping skills.
Counselors provide direct support to our young families, helping them begin to heal from the trauma they’ve endured. As healing begins, mothers can start to rebuild their lives and be a caring and nurturing parent to their child.
Seton Home’s spirituality program promotes acceptance and positive self-development as our residents begin to view themselves and their children as worthy and unique creations of God.
Residents are encouraged to attend religious services at the congregation of their choice.
Seton Home partners with community volunteers and students of theology to work with our residents and their children by providing activities and lessons as they walk their healing journey.
(*All spirituality and faith development activities are offered to all residents, but are not mandatory. Should one choose not to receive services from us, we will assist in locating help elsewhere.)

With the support of our team of Residential Instructors, Case Managers and a Parenting Educators, our teens feel a sense of security and belonging, something they may have never had before.
