Other things in a week...
Always Welcome.
Moms often ask if they can come on Tuesday and Thursday to volunteer their time or have a safe, quiet place to work on the written assignments they have for each stage of the program. Some moms ask to come in to work on their GED or other life changing needs. The answer is always YES!
Sisterhood.
The moms in the program have a private FB page where they can share their joys, sorrows, questions and need for support. Only the staff and other moms can see it. The also attend 12 Step meetings together. They say they become “Sisters in Recovery”.
The Long Haul.
The FUTURES Program is Wednesday mornings for all moms who have completed the regular IOP program. They can attend for as long as they desire. It is a place for sharing, support, and to continue to learn new skills. Their children can attend childcare while they are in continuing care.
