Located in Pennsylvania, the program offers a safe and supportive environment where women receive intensive, evidence-based, gender-responsive treatment while living with their children.

Recognizing that recovery is a family journey, Sojourner House helps mothers strengthen relationships with their children. Services include developmental screenings, educational support, and after-school activities to ensure children’s well-being. Pregnant women receive specialized care to support their health and their baby’s health. Families also gain access to community resources that promote long-term stability and mental wellness.
