Good Counsel Homes
The Good Counsel homes empower mothers in “crisis” pregnancies who feel they have nowhere else to turn. They offer pregnant moms a safe haven and the tools to build a better future for themselves and their children – born and unborn. Good Counsel offers a range of “wrap-around” services, including a physical home environment, medical care, job placement, child care, parenting classes, counseling, aids toward educational completion, and affordable housing upon exit. Good Counsel has an “Open Intake” model, meaning NO pregnant woman is turned away for ANY reason. Good Counsel’s national 24/7 helpline is 1-800-723-8331. https://www.goodcounselhomes.org/
