Our Vision
For more than ten years Susannah’s House has helped women find sobriety, regain custody of their children, and start productive lives. We have seen many moms struggle with external challenges such as suitable housing and adequate pre-k care for their children. These challenges make it extremely difficult to maintain long term sobriety. Our vision is to help moms have the best opportunity available to overcome addiction and restore their families!
Trauma Informed Preschool
Research tells us children born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) or into unhealthy environments are living with the effects of trauma. Children are starting school without any help addressing their past trauma resulting in behavioral problems that are misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Susannah’s House has a vision to provide a preschool with a trauma-informed curriculum and trained staff. The goal is to help these children and their families begin addressing their trauma before it manifests itself into disruptive or dangerous behavior.
