stability & hope
House Meeting
Once a week, all moms and staff come together to connect, plan the week, assign chores, and grow through a short devotion. Co-living means learning to share space with others, communicate well, and support one another.
1:1 Case Manager Meeting
Each mom meets weekly with her case manager—a life coach and mentor—who helps set goals, provide biblical discipleship, and offer practical support. These meetings are scheduled at a time that works for both of you.
Group Class
Join all Selah moms for a weekly class on topics like parenting, emotional resilience, or anxiety support. Childcare is often provided so you can focus on learning and growth.
Additional Classes
Socials Class
About three times a month, we host a special workshop led by a volunteer or staff member on practical topics such as budgeting, cooking, or healthy living. These are great times to build confidence and learn new life skills in a fun, hands-on way.
