Post-natal Residential Housing Program
• the attachment process is going well
• baby is thriving
• placement of the baby in the Early Learning program at the Centre
• learn positive and effective parenting skills
• develop anger management skills, if needed
• learn how to budget and shop for a household
• increase knowledge of community resources
Mothers graduating from the pre-natal residence (normally about two months after baby arrives) move on to Phase II of the residential program. Mom and baby live for up to 6 months in one of ten partially furnished, self-contained apartment units. We gear rent payments to income.
Residential counsellors ensure:

• placement of the baby in the Early Learning program at the Centre
As with the pre-natal program, young moms participate fully in the design of the next stage of their individual plan of care. During Phase II, our moms continue to:
• attend school, work or focus on pre-employment activities• learn positive and effective parenting skills
• develop anger management skills, if needed
• learn how to budget and shop for a household
• increase knowledge of community resources
