Preschool Promise
Children's success starts in Preschool: Helping families. Improving Preschools. Strengthening our community.
Be Present
Be Present provides easy-to-use resources that can help youth cope better with life’s stressors — day-to-day or in a crisis — and then take the steps to share with and support others. The idea is to maintain your own mental wellness, and also to help you feel prepared to step in and make a difference when you see friends and peers who are struggling. Also included is information about positive (prevention) programs — and even places you can go for help when things seem too big to handle.

Teen Parents Learn
Teen Parents Learn: This new program launched in Montgomery County in July 2017, and is a collaboration among Catholic Social Services, Lifestages Centers for Women, the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation, LifeSkills High School, and the Montgomery County Educational Service Center. The program is designed to provide pregnant and parenting teens (with children from birth to age 5) with case management and the support they need to remain in high school during pregnancy, return to school after the birth of their baby, and graduate from high school while parenting. Each client’s individual needs will be addressed to help them manage their responsibilities, strengthen their parenting abilities, and focus on their own educational success. Program services are offered at no cost to the participants. For more information about Teen Parents Learn, or to make a referral to the program, call (937) 299-5465.

Erma's House Family Visitation Center
Erma’s House is a comfortable, homelike atmosphere that provides a safe, structured, neutral alternative to unsupervised visits. The Family Visitation Center offers a warm, friendly atmosphere where children of any age may visit with their non-custodial parents. Erma’s House was created to assist families that have difficulty interacting in a nonthreatening, appropriate manner. Erma’s House is structured to provide safety to everyone using the Center. Parents must abide by the policies outlined in the House Rules. The need for supervised visitation may be due to issues related to divorce or separation, protection/restraining orders between parties, threats, child abuse or neglect issues, safety concerns or other visitation issues where a neutral setting would increase a family’s level of comfort or safety.
