Community of Caring serves pregnant women and mothers in need of support.  The focus is on assisting mothers and mothers-to-be to achieve self-sufficiency in areas that include financial, emotional, educational, employment and parenting skills.

 
Counseling
Mental health counseling in the areas of anxiety and depression is available along with relationship counseling, budgeting, educational information and anger management.  Counseling is individualized to meet the needs of each parent.

Transportation
We provide transportation for you to important medical, treatment, court, and other appointments.

We currently offer a women’s support group that meets twice a month in Mt. Morris.  A typical group session includes a stress buster exercise, discussion of parenting issues, and a craft.  Childcare, transportation, and snacks are provided.
