#our100days Day 34

Give a Mom a Helping Hand

So Others Might Eat’s Thea Bowman House for Women and Children provides low-income and homeless DC mothers with family-centered residential addiction treatment without being separated from their children. Almost half of the women seeking treatment in the District are mothers with dependent children, many of whom are hesitant to get the help they need if it means leaving their children behind. Thea Bowman’s programming includes addictions treatment, mental health services, pre- and post-natal medical care, parenting education, family therapy, relapse prevention and recovery support.
