Executive Summary

Crittenton residential programs serve as interventions to help young women from across North Carolina stabilize their lives, equipping them with the skills, knowledge and resources they need to create better futures for themselves and their children. Clients come to Crittenton in times of crisis: they are pregnant and lack support or resources, they are teen mothers in foster care at risk of being separated from their child, or they are aging out of foster care and lack skills and support to become self-sufficient adults. Crittenton works to address all aspects of clients’ physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, creating long-term change in their families' lives by breaking generational cycles of poverty, family dysfunction and system dependence.

Maternity Program: serves pregnant women and girls of all ages by facilitating access to prenatal/health care, counseling, vocational/educational services, parenting/childbirth education, case management, trauma responsive programming and connecting to community resources. Staff provides in-home aftercare support for mothers after delivery.

Sarah's House: supports young mothers ages 14-21 and their babies who are both in foster care prepare for independent living focusing on education, counseling, parenting education and life skills.

Legacy Hall: empowers and supports adolescent females ages 16-21 in foster care by developing educational, vocational, life and social skills that facilitate positive life outcomes.
