Individual services are offered as needed.   

Residential Living:
Young women thrive in a group setting where they enjoy their independence yet feel the warmth and camaraderie of other young women and a caring staff. Residents learn an incentive system where rewards are earned for full participation in the program, completing chores, and working on projects that benefit everyone at Rosalie Hall.  Because living in a group setting with other young pregnant women can be difficult, there are weekly Conflict Resolution Groups.  These groups focus on resolving issues between residents in an appropriate manor, and give the young women a safe space to voice any complaints or problems that they may be having in the residence. 

Rosalie Hall encourages residents to get involved in recreational activities such as:

-Movie Nights

-Tea Parties

-Arts and Crafts

-Picnics

-Holiday Celebrations

-Outings

-Making items for their babies, such as crocheted blankets, frames, etc.

-Recreation for cooking classes

Prenatal Classes:
Young women receive step-by-step instruction on preparing for a safe, healthy delivery, and caring for their own nutrition and health to ensure a successful outcome. 
 

Parenting Classes
Raising a child is the most important job in the world. At Rosalie Hall, young women are given opportunities to learn important parenting skills.  A unique curriculum has been created by our parenting teacher in order to address the needs of our specific population. It is presented to enhance the skills and tools needed to raise their child.  Skills include caring for a newborn, feeding, bathing, bonding, and information on development from an infant to a toddler.  Discussions touch on appropriate discipline, boundaries, and limit-setting as well as learning, bonding and having fun.

Counseling Services
Preparing for motherhood requires a lot of support. Young women receive it at Rosalie Hall, with counseling programs that address virtually every need.            

• Two social workers are on-site to help young women to provide supportive counseling to each resident, as well as to create a discharge plan for mother and baby.

• Therapeutic Services are also available to young women in need, including psychiatric and psychological evaluations and care. Individual therapy is available to help the young women resolve problems and overcome obstacles.

 

Support Groups
Support groups are available to help young women to cope with the challenges of pregnancy and parenthood.  

Rosalie Hall does not ignore the role of the father in pregnancy and child-rearing.  Fathers are welcome in to visit and be involved in the planning for the child.  Referrals are made to agencies that educate young fathers.


 

Vocational Counseling
Counseling is available to help transition young women into the workforce. They meet with counselors to determine work skills, to develop new skills to compete in the workforce, and to secure meaningful, lasting employment consistent with their goals and aspirations. 

Rosalie Hall also educates their residents in ways to develop the person they want to become once they leave Rosalie Hall. These Independent Living Skills Classes include a wide range of topics, touching on everything from College Preparation and Budgeting to Housing and HIV Prevention. 


 

Educational Program
There is a Department of Education School on-site at Rosalie Hall. Board of Education-certified teachers, both in regular and special education create an individual program for each student, in order to achieve the most credits toward graduation during their time at Rosalie Hall.  The teacher-to-student ratio is excellent, affording personalized instruction in a range of subjects, from general studies to Spanish language classes.  


 

The Mentor’s Group
Successful members of the community are welcomed to Rosalie Hall to serve as mentors for young pregnant women and new mothers. Young women meet with mentors to discuss life ambitions and to design programs and pathways that enable women to reach their life goals.
