Programs: Community Outreach Center- The community outreach program aims to provide education and support to families with young children. These services assist women through this very challenging period in their lives. Services included but are not limited to: support groups, prenatal classes, educational, life skills, Lamaze labor techniques, and crocheting. We also provide much needed items monthly to our community moms. These items may include: clothing, food, diapers, wipes and blankets. Resident Program- Opening August 2018 The resident program for pregnant teens is a complete living experience specifically designed to meet individual goals. Some of the most therapeutic moments occur while cooking meals, playing with babies and changing diapers. The continuous treatment plan incorporates the teens' medical care, future education, career, and life goals for herself and her child.
I recently toured Gianna's House and met some of the ladies in residence. What a great program offering them help when needed to future themselves and their babies. This program sets these ladies up for success. Susie Q's Kids was happy to provide much-needed items for them and others in the community during their Community Baby Shower. Keep up the good work.
