The home has a capacity for eight women and their babies. House Directors and staff care for the residents. Each woman is invited to stay for up to six months after birth. The average stay at Mercy House can be 6 to 9 months under most circumstances. Our goal for each of our residents is graduation from our program with a healthy baby, personal healing and restoration, feeling equipped to parent, or empowered and supported to place their baby for adoption. During their stay with us, we prioritize improving life skills, parenting education, and acquisition of a higher level of education than previously achieved. This ranges from working toward a general equivalency diploma, acquiring education for a trade, or online attendance of college classes. We focus heavily on emotional and spiritual restoration and resolution. These goals are achieved through a team of our staff, and volunteers who are mentors and professional counselors. Twelve women were served this year. These services included midwifery and medical obstetrics care, childbirth education, dental care and chiropractic care. Professional counseling included Celebrate Recovery and Overcomers addiction counseling, nutritional training, emotional and spiritual healing and recovery and our online Parent Education course taught by a licensed neonatal registered nurse, called Brightcourse. We assisted each resident in obtaining WIC, Medicaid, and educational advancement. In some cases, Mercy House funded their educational requirements or found scholarships through interested donors. This year, Mercy House transitioned into our new program evaluation process which goes through four phases: Endure, Hope, Change and Life. Each phase has unique issues, methods, curriculums and processes that assist each resident in her particular stage of life and pregnancy. The Endure Phase is the first phase of the Mercy House program. The curriculum in this phase is the Purple Book (a discipleship curriculum), PE class (Parenting Education), Relationship Goals (training on how to build healthy relationships), Overcomers and Celebrate Recovery ( an addiction recovery program). The Hope Phase is the second phase of the Mercy House program. The curriculum in this phase consists of Boundaries, Shepherding A Child's Heart, Nourish, and Life Skills. The Change Phase is the third phase of the Mercy House program. The curriculum in this phase is Poverty, Riches and Wealth, Financial Peace, Life Skills II, and educational training for skilled labor and job readiness. The Life Phase is the fourth phase of the Mercy House program. At this time, residents have completed the majority of the program and are looking forward to graduation, receiving their car for those in good standing and transition out of Mercy House. Our curriculum is designed to prepare our residents with skills such as childbirth education, breastfeeding instruction, infant care, parenting instruction, car seat safety training, CPR and First Aid, Financial Peace (a finance & budgeting management curriculum. They are educated on shaken baby syndrome through demonstrations with a baby mannequin. In addition to our own curriculum, we partner with other organizations and churches who provide periodic specialized trainings that are applicable to our residents needs, such as Bible studies, Embrace Grace and other small groups. Each resident is assisted with exit plans from our program when the time is right. Most move out to transitional housing programs, and some return to their homes to establish their own households. We endeavor to stay in communication with each resident that desires our ongoing support. 174100 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false true true true false X X X Beverly Hallett 8179461619 6504 Horseshoe Bnd Colleyville TX 76034 X Susan Hulet Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Harkins Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Beverly Hallett Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Yvonne Schnitzius Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Blume President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marcy Barkemeyer Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Saundra Halstead Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 66478 285116 351594 0 244 244 0 0 0 0 66478 38891 -38891 -38891 0 0 0 312947 -38647 0 0 0 0 0 0 78809 69453 5785 3571 0 0 6287 5541 461 285 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5405 5405 4749 4749 0 0 72474 72474 0 0 0 0 0 0 1823 1823 Client Expenses 26582 26582 Training 6600 6600 Merchant fees 3998 3998 Volunteer expenses 1055 50 2 1003 3098 3098 210880 174100 26516 10264 6456 60485 16896 11966 0 5516 0 0 0 0 0 10125 2712 617602 567633 617602 0 0 0 0 0 606626 692765 5020 4825 2000 415105 401372 1 1 422126 406198 X 184500 286567 184500 286567 606626 692765 102067 X false false false X 309923 254971 260228 314568 312703 1452393 0 0 309923 254971 260228 314568 312703 1452393 173985 1278408 530 787 689 310 244 2560 0 0 1454953 0.87870 0.89510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 577239 577239 2355 2355 38008 38008 617602 Rounding 1 1 false Dinner 66478 66478 18755 10750 9386 66478 66478 18755 10750 9386 38891 -38891 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The content of the Form 990 is reviewed and verified with the Executive Director before finalization.
