Post-Adoption Support Services

Adoption is a life-long process and each adoption is unique and special. Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley offers post-adoption services and general adoption information, support for adoptees, and specialized support for adoptive families through our Safe Counseling program.

Whether you’re an adoptee looking for information on your birth family, you’re looking for information about how to adopt a child, or your family includes an adopted child, we have expertise to assist you. The CSSMV professional counseling program is available to adult and child adoptees and their families, and also offers special expertise in the area of attachment disorders.

Our family includes an adopted child

Our counseling team has expertise working with adoptive families as they go through the adoptive family life cycle. To learn more about these stages and how CSSMV can help address some of the unique challenges faced by adoptive families, please CLICK HERE.

Some adopted children have difficulty developing an attachment to their adoptive families. In extreme cases, they may be diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder, or RAD. Catholic Social Services’ Safe Counseling program can help. CLICK HERE for more information.

Teen Parents Learn can help you stay in school while you’re pregnant. find services & resources for a healthy pregnancy. return to school after your baby is born. balance the demands of going to school and being a parent. graduate from high school and get your diploma. learn to take care of your child...and yourself. become a terrific parent.

Teen Parents Learn is designed to help young parents complete high school and graduate with their diplomas. We work with pregnant and parenting teens who are still in school, as well as with those who left school as teen parents and are now ready to work toward high school graduation.

Our Family Life Coaches provide these young moms and dads with parenting education as well as the skills and support they need to stay in school and/or complete their high school education. We provide support as they overcome obstacles and become successful parents, while encouraging them to graduate.

This program is funded in part by United Way of the Greater Dayton Area

The Teen Parents Learn program launched in the summer of 2017 through a collaboration among Catholic Social Services, Lifestages Centers for Women, the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation, LifeSkills High School, and the Montgomery County Educational Service Center. As part of Montgomery County’s priority for improving graduation rates for teen parents, our program goals include increasing student attendance rates in school, decreasing school dropout rates, and reclaiming youth who drop out of school because of challenges related to pregnancy or parenting.

Eligibility


Teen Parents Learn can work with you if you’re a teenager in Montgomery County who is pregnant or has a child up to age 5, or if you were a teen parent. If you had to leave school because you had a baby as a teenager and now want to graduate from high school, we can help you get your diploma.

Mothers Empowered Prenatal Groups

April 25, 2018/in Auglaize, Available To Residents, Champaign, Darke, Greene, Logan, Mercer, Miami, Montgomery, ParentLink, Preble, Pregnancy & Parenting Services, Programs & Services, Shelby /by atomic

Mothers Empowered

Group Prenatal Care Program


As a first-time mother, I didn’t know anything. I have learned so much here.

Tamika

We didn’t know any other people with babies, so the support group is our way of being with other parents and letting our daughter play with other babies. I really like that!

Rose

I like hearing about the baby and other women’s experience of their pregnancy and relating it to mine.

Dynasty

One of the more significant outcomes of the program has been the natural bond and subsequent support networks which emerge among the women. Their friendship, created through this shared experience, has made them stronger and more confident in their role as mothers.

Sr. Carol Bauer, SCFormer V.P. of Mission Effectiveness at Good Samaritan Hospital

In this unique program, CSSMV teams up with Lifestages Centers for Women. While Lifestages offers CenteringPregnancy® group prenatal care, CSSMV’s Family Life Coaches provide parenting preparation, nurturing parenting education, home visiting, and community resource case management to help build strong life skills for baby, mom, dad and family.

Mothers Empowered is a wraparound support program, with expectant mothers receiving prenatal care in small groups with others whose due dates are in the same month. The groups meet regularly and include quality prenatal care by medical providers, plus educational and emotional supports. A Family Life Coach from Catholic Social Services is at every meeting, and also encourages parents to participate in one-on-one parenting sessions at their homes.

Prenatal Centering® groups meet monthly at first, and as due dates approach they meet every two weeks. Once the babies are born, CSSMV’s Family Life Coaches facilitate ongoing group meetings focusing on peer support and parenting education, as well as ongoing one-on-one home visits.


Mothers Empowered is a partnership among Catholic Social Services, Lifestages Centers for Women, and the Good Samaritan Foundation.

Eligibility


The Mothers Empowered program is open to any pregnant woman who is willing to make Lifestages Centers for Women her primary provider for prenatal care.

Delivery hospitals include Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton and Miami Valley Hospital South in Centerville.
