Michael House Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services

about

For over two decades, Michael House Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services has dedicated itself as a home and resource for women in crisis pregnancy situations. With community partnerships, we provide Residential, Supportive Housing, and Aftercare programs based in Guelph, Ontario. We provide the help they need for the betterment of themselves, their children, and their circumstances.

Our Mission: To provide shelter and support to pregnant and parenting women and their children in need.

Our Vision: Empower resilient women to overcome barriers for the betterment of themselves and their children.

Located in Guelph Ontario, Michael House offers four distinct programs to support and encourage the mother-led families that we serve.

Our Residential Program provides warm and secure shelter to expectant and new mothers and their infants. During their stay, mothers go through an education program to learn skills for healthy parenting and life management with access to 24-hour on-site staff that support them during pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenting.
Our Supportive Housing Program provides eight two-bedroom apartments. Here, mothers transitioning out of the Residential Program, develop the skills they need to provide a stable environment for themselves and their children. Along with the support of our caring staff, they are part of a community that make up our Michael House family.
Michael House’s Aftercare Program provides continuity for those mothers moving into the community. This program supports women in accessing community resources, housing, employment, and continued schooling to master independent living for themselves and their family.
Our strength at Michael House comes from an incredibly supportive community and beyond. Our Drop-In Program provides regular opportunities for current and past families to meet, network, and share their experiences. Our wonderful staff and community partners provide hot meals to help mothers socialize and form supportive bonds.

Our goal is that all mothers who turn to us will find the resources and the encouragement they need to build successful futures for themselves and for their children. Since opening our doors in 2003, more than 500 women and children have lived in our residences.

We have promoted education, nurtured parenting abilities and strengthened self-esteem and confidence in the women and children we have served. By helping vulnerable moms while we model the love of Christ and the belief that every life is precious, we safeguard the young and ensure the physical, psychological and emotional safety of both parent and child.
