Upon arriving at Seton Home, most young mothers are suffering from chronic trauma related to poverty, violence, abuse and neglect, with symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and maladaptive coping skills.

Counselors provide direct support to our young families, helping them begin to heal from the trauma they’ve endured. As healing begins, mothers can start to rebuild their lives and be a caring and nurturing parent to their child.

The majority of the teens who arrive at Seton Home are behind in school, and two-thirds are regular truants and do not see graduating in their future. Through Seton Home’s comprehensive education program, our teens are not only graduating High School but are continuing on to college or vocational school!

Our comprehensive education program includes:

• Counseling to help start the healing process
• School enrollment within 3-business days of arriving at Seton Home
• Year-round tutoring
• On-campus summer enrichment academy
• School supplies
• On-site licensed Child Development Center with Early Head Start Programming
• Child development screenings
• Education Coordinator to attend parent/teacher conferences and encourage our teens to reach their educational goals!

Additionally, Seton Home provides young mothers with the tools to become nurturing parents in order to break the generational cycle of abuse and neglect, guiding them into self-sufficiency ensuring they are capable of caring for their children upon leaving our facility.

• Prenatal and childbirth education
