About
Program Service Accomplishments and Description:Mercy House is a residential maternity home serving adult somen who are pregnant and homeless or in duress. The home has a capacity for eight women and their babies. House Managers and an onsite Case Manager care for the residents. Each woman is invited to stay for up to six months after birth. The average stay at Mercy House can be six to nine months under some circumstances.Our goal for each of our residents is graduation from our program with a healthy baby, personal healing and restoration, feeling equipped to parent, or empowered and supported to place their baby for adoption. During their stay with us, we prioritize improving life skills, parenting education, and acquisition of a higher level of education than previously achieved. This ranges from working toward a general equivalency diploma, acquiring a vocational trade, or online/attendance of college classes. we also heavily focus on emotional and spiritual restoration and resolution. These goals are achieved through a team of staff, volunteers, mentors and professional counselors.Fifteen women were served this year. These services included midwifery and medical obstetrical care, childbirth education, dental care, professional counseling, Celebrate Recovery addiction counseling, nutritional training, emotional and spiritual healing and recovery and Baby Boot Camp.* We assisted each resident in obtaining WIC, Medicaid, and educational advancement. In some cases, Mercy House funded the educational requirements or found scholarships through interested donors.*Our Baby Boot Camp curriculum is designed to prepare our residents with skills such as childbirth education, breast feeding instruction, infant care, parenting instruction, car seat safety training, CPR and First Aid, Financial Peace (a money management curriculum), and Shaken Baby Syndrome demonstrations with a manikin. In addition to our own curriculum, we partner with other organizations and churches who provide periodic specialized trainings that are applicable to our residents' needs such as Bible studies and Boundaries classes.Each resident was assisted with exit plans from our program. Most move on to transitional housing programs, and some return to their homes to establish their own households. We endeavor to stay in communication with each resident that desires our ongoing support.
