Adult Parenting Support and Family Reunification Program
Supporting parents. Strengthening families. Building brighter futures.
Mommie & Me believes every mother deserves an opportunity to receive support, strengthen her parenting abilities, and work toward a safe and healthy relationship with her children.
The Mommie & Me Program supports adult mothers and mother figures who want to strengthen their parenting skills, improve their relationships with their children, or work toward safe family reunification.
The program serves mothers who need additional parenting guidance, as well as mothers who have experienced separation from their children because of divorce, incarceration, substance-use challenges, mental-health concerns, domestic violence, housing instability, foster-care placement, family conflict, child-welfare involvement, family-court involvement, or loss of custody.
Mothers who have been separated from their children may experience grief, guilt, fear, frustration, shame, or uncertainty. Mommie & Me provides a compassionate, educational, and nonjudgmental environment where mothers can receive support, recognize their strengths, accept responsibility when appropriate, and develop the skills needed to move forward.

Daddy & Me gives fathers a place to learn, grow, accept responsibility, overcome barriers, and become safe, nurturing, and actively involved Daddies.
The Daddy & Me Program is a responsible-fatherhood program designed to support adult fathers and father figures in identifying and resolving barriers that affect their ability to be safely, consistently, and positively involved in their children’s lives.
The program serves fathers who need additional parenting guidance, as well as fathers who have experienced separation from their children because of divorce, incarceration, substance-use challenges, mental-health concerns, housing instability, family conflict, child-welfare involvement, family-court involvement, or loss of custody.
A safe, healthy, and positive father-child relationship can support a child’s emotional development, confidence, stability, and overall well-being.

Every Parent Deserves Support
Mothers and fathers do not have to navigate parenting alone. With education, encouragement, positive role models, and access to resources, young parents can develop the skills and confidence necessary to raise safe, healthy, and emotionally secure children.
Mommie & Me and Daddy & Me are complementary programs committed to strengthening young parents, supporting healthy co-parenting, and helping children maintain meaningful relationships with both parents whenever it is safe and appropriate.
