Who Are We?

Selah Place understands the sacred role of motherhood and believes that every woman, as a cherished creation of God, deserves our care and support. We provide shelter, assistance, and a nurturing community to women and their families during difficult times. Our aim is to create a safe haven where mothers can heal and regain hope while embracing the transformative power of God's love. We envision a future where every woman we assist not only overcomes challenges but also flourishes in her role as a mother, living a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.

  • Women must be 18 or older. They must be pregnant, or in early parenting stages.

    Must be alcohol/drug-free for at least 6 months before residency.

  • We offer a secure environment where women and children can reside, engage in play, and rest peacefully. Our dedicated staff collaborate with families, fostering a sense of community, understanding that pivotal moments often unfold spontaneously—whether through words of encouragement, shared laughter, or collaborative problem-solving around the kitchen counter. Additionally, each family is paired with a Mothers Mentor who serves as a supportive friend and guide. Our residences naturally facilitate mutual encouragement and support among mothers, creating an enriching environment for all.

  • We teach pregnant women and new parents how to take care of themselves and their babies. We think it's important for moms and kids to rest, take care of themselves, and have fun together, especially if they've been through tough times. Our staff know about pregnancy and helping moms after giving birth. We suggest families get help from doulas, people who visit homes to give advice based on research, programs for early childhood education and family support, and other helpful services. We also help families recognize and heal from tough experiences so they can have a stable future.

  • Every woman in our program plans goals for herself and her family. Our Mothers Lead Support meets with each woman every week to work with her, find other resources, or teach her skills she needs to reach her goals. We work on important topics or learn new skills like talking well, managing money, eating healthy, cooking, and more. We have computers and information right here, so moms can work on their future plans without worrying about getting a ride or finding someone to watch their kids.

  • Each mom is connected with a Mothers Mentor, she creates a relationship with her Mom and her family. She keeps moms accountable and offers 1:1 peer support.

Everyone deserves a safe community of love and support, with room to grow, nurture, be nurtured, and thrive. Be a part of that neighbourhood for Selah moms and become a monthly donor of any amount.
