What We Do

The Oak Haven Second Chance Home provides residential care for teen mothers and their children. The philosophy behind the establishment of the Oak Haven Second Chance Home is the belief that by providing a safe, stable, nurturing environment for teen mothers and their children, the negative effects of adolescent parenting can be reduced and the potential for the highest quality of life for both mother and child can be realized. The residents are provided with basic life skills information, counseling, money management, parenting instruction, housekeeping, menu planning, food preparation, leisure-time activities, and transportation. Other services include training in commercial sex trafficking, interpersonal skill building, effective communication, decision-making, first aid, and CPR. All residents are enrolled in an academic program and receive mental health services and drug awareness and prevention classes. Physical health needs are ensured through regular physical and health assessments and emergency medical treatment when needed.
