Project Together
Project Together is a 24-hour halfway house program for homeless, chemically dependent, pregnant and/or parenting women who have a substance abuse problem and are in need of assistance with recovery, self-sufficiency, parenting and life skills. Programming is holistic in scope, research based and unique in that it allows for mothers to pursue treatment while still residing with their children. In some cases, these children have been in foster care or living with someone else. Keeping mothers and children together or reuniting them is an important component to the healing process and key to the success of the program. Clients are asked to make a minimum 12-month commitment to treatment before entering the program and have the option of staying for as long as two years.

Participants work with a primary counselor to develop and implement an individualized treatment plan. They attend a series of activities dealing with recovery including individual and group therapy, 12-step meetings, relapse education, early recovery skills education, as well as, sessions on parenting (as applicable), assertiveness, communication and domestic violence. Clients attend educational programming (GED classes and college courses), pursue employment related activities ( job skills training sessions and employment search initiatives) and attend other self-sufficiency related sessions (money management and debt reparation) as deemed appropriate.

All programming is respectful of client issues related to diversity including language, culture and ethnicity. Specialized efforts are directed towards providing services sensitive to the needs of those served—including hosting weekly in-house “Talking Stick” meetings, interpreter services for staff and clients, use of culturally-specific media and transporting clients to “Sister-Sister” support groups.
