Families that Work

Through a comprehensive range of services, we assist pregnant cash assistance recipients with attaining the life skill and employment skills necessary to secure employment and maintain a healthy, balanced life.  The foundation of this program is the co-active coaching model and the program design supports the expectant mothers in balancing their medical condition (pregnancy) while participating in job readiness activities and in identifying and changing any self-destructive cycle. 

Our program consists of individualized models that focus on four distictive categories.  They are: Barrier Removal, Human Development & Education, Mental Health Education and Assessments and Skill-Building. 

The goals of Families that Work are to:

• Identify and work to overcome barriers that prevent women from remaining successfully employed
• Empower women to create balance in their lives
• Increase parenting skills
• Increase stress management and coping skills
• Increase and strengthen support systems

We help new mothers ensure the well-being of their young families.
