Visitation House cares for adult women who are resolved to make a better future for themselves and their babies. Due to the fact that we are focused on creating a safe environment in which we can serve these women at their most vulnerable stages, we require that prospective residents have no active substance abuse issues. In addition, a criminal background check is performed in the interest of protecting the women and babies living in our home. Visitation House is a program that requires active participation from the women who join us.

We start with an interview to ensure you understand our purpose and goals. It is important for you to understand the full scope of the opportunities that will be available to you if you enter our program; both the benefits and responsibilities. Our hope is to communicate to you how important you are in your child's life. It is through a deeper understanding of your own dignity as a mother that enables us to help you build a bright future for yourself and your child.

We want to take care of you - mind, body, and soul. Specifically:

- Provide a safe space where your immediate needs of food and shelter are met;
- Create an atmosphere of encouragement and support as you navigate your pregnancy and prepare for birth; - Ensure you and your baby's medical needs are supported by the local health community;
- Provide Life Skill classes designed to help you build self-knowledge, confidence, and competency in taking care of yourself and your baby;
- Guide and mentor you one-on-one, leading you to a place of independence and stability;
- Nourish your soul with kindness and challenge you with the Truth.

Visitation House does not seek to give you a temporary solution. We hope that, by working together, we can build a foundation from which you can realize your hopes for yourself and your baby.
