What We Do
Read MoreA Mother's Hope is a maternity home grounded in faith and designed to support and empower pregnant women with the necessary skills and tools needed to manage their futures well. A Mother's Hope provides shelter for the duration of a pregnancy and up to one year postpartum for mother and child, while providing supportive services, training, and intensive case management. Our program provides clarity for our residents to create safe, stable, and nurturing environments for themselves and their children as they move towards self-sufficiency.
At A Mother's Hope we recognize that each resident is unique in her life experiences and in the circumstances that led her to become homeless. We help residents define and strive for their own individual versions of success.

Finding Hope
Read MoreFor our residents, hope is more than a feeling of optimism for the future. It is our hope that when life gets difficult, they will not return to their previous ways of coping and managing life. They will have learned the necessary skills and tools to manage difficult situations positively. Furthermore, they will have received therapy to address trauma and encourage family stability.
Our program is designed to provide opportunities for our residents to create safe, stable, and nurturing environments for themselves and their children as they move towards self-sufficiency.
"Healthy Tomorrow" App
Read MoreIn 2018, McMillen Health conducted a community needs assessment called In Her Words to find out how we could contribute to solving the opioid epidemic. We had honest and eye-opening conversations with women who have opioid use disorder (OUD) and who were pregnant or had recently had a baby. We also talked to professionals serving women with OUD and their babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS).
What we discovered: accessible educational resources are critically needed and virtually non-existent.
Women overwhelmingly asked for educational content in video format (no more brochures to toss out!) that they could easily access from their phones. These findings were the inspiration needed to develop Healthy Tomorrow, a mobile app with educational videos geared towards pregnant, or recently pregnant, people with a history of opioid use disorder.
The app has a variety of videos that app users can watch, learn, and earn rewards!
Our Executive Director, Stasia Roth, was part of the Professional Advisory Group as a collaborator for the app.
