Counseling
Professional counselors meet with Mercy House residents to assist them with the resolution of family issues, emotional struggles and spiritual concerns. Emphasis is always placed on confronting these problems with the truth of God’s Word.
Education
The priority of education in preparation for a solid, stable life is strongly encouraged for each Mercy House resident. We provide help with preparation for a general equivalency diploma as well as higher educational goals such as vocational training or college classes. We continually stress the importance of education as a key to a strong, self-supporting future.
Life Skills Training
Individual and group instruction assist in helping our residents with the skills needed to establish a healthy home. These include parenting instruction, basic infant care and safety, nutrition and cooking, healthy lifestyle training and any other area identified in each individual resident’s life. The training is formal as well as modeled by all Mercy House staff and volunteers.
Special Issue Assistance
Unique, individual needs such as acquiring a driver’s license, resolving a legal issue, or completing unfinished business are prioritized and assisted by our volunteers as part of the service plan we create for each resident.
Spiritual Ministry
Strong emphasis is placed on each woman’s involvement in a local church. Household devotions and weekly Bible study are priorities. We encourage each resident to understand that the support of a vibrant body of believers is critical to her future success.
Resource Families
Residents enjoy extended relationships
with mentoring families who provide additional emotional and physical
support. Each family is included in her life as a model of health and the
beauty of functional living.
