“Epiphany Center programs strengthens family life through early interventions when possible and by healing trauma, treating mental illness and substance abuse, and ending cycles of homelessness and poverty through holistic client-centered care. Epiphany Center provides holistic client-centered care to a diverse population of children, women, and families who are the most vulnerable in our society. Our purpose is to strengthen family life and to enhance the physical, social-emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth of each person in our care. Epiphany Center provides a variety of services to family from preventative services, including In Home Services which uses the SafeCare model of assessing and providing services to families in their own homes. With funding from the Office of Child Abuse Prevention, Epiphany Center's Road to Resilience project helps women who are pregnant and/or have infants 0-12 months of age to find safety and stability through our services and referrals. The Road To Resilience team recognizes that each mother and child has unique needs. We support high-risk pregnant women with current and/or a history of substance abuse, as well as families of substance-exposed infants, to get the help they need to achieve their goals. Our Family Treatment Program provides infant mental health services to babies who may have been prenatally exposed to drugs or suffer from other traumas, requiring special intervention therapies. We also provide a Family Enrichment Program to enhance the relationships between mothers and their children, especially in effectively utilizing unstructured time together.”

“On July 1, 2019, Epiphany Center began our Road to Resilience Program, the result of being rewarded one of only 10 government grants given to agencies to go into the community and provide services to pregnant women or mothers of infants under 12 months of age with a history of substance abuse. Our Navigators worked with 55 women and their infants, coordinating services with several collaborating agencies who provide services to women, such as emergency housing, medical services, and residential treatment centers. Our Parent Counselor works with the Navigator and provides Prenatal and Postnatal care to the mothers and helps them develop the mother-baby bond. Many of the women and babies are able to be referred to Epiphany Center's residential treatment and the babies to our daycare program where we have dedicated two teachers to work with the women who participate in the Road to Resilience program. The majority of Road to Resilience clients are able to receive the supports they need to stay in the community. The Road to Resilience grant is a 3 year grant with a possible 2 year extension, dependent on outcomes and funding availability.”
