A sampling of such programs are: Raphael's Life House Mother/Child Program Our mothers and babies program in Elizabeth, NJ houses 12 young women and their newborns, while the new moms learn to become good parents with the ability to support themselves and their children. Young women with health problems and other issues can receive treatment in our on-site medical clinics and participate in other CHNJ programs. In 2010, we completed extensive renovations at Raphael's Life House. During the previous year, Covenant House acquired the 125 convent that houses the moms and babies program to ensure the program would continue to be a safe haven for young families as long as they need us. Nancy's Place (Montclair) In 2009, we opened a program especially for mentally ill homeless youth called Nancys Place in Montclair. In response to the special needs of this unique population, the program is staffed 24 hours a day, and offers the intensive care these young people need to become self-sufficient and independent. SUPPORTIVE SERVICES Career Development - Our education teachers help our kids reach their educational goals, from enrolling in school, getting their GED, to applying for college. Our vocational programs give them the tools they need to learn to obtain a job. They learn how to write a resume, where to look for work, and how to dress and prepare for an interview. Medical - We provide premiere comprehensive medical care free of charge to every young person we serve. With a full-time Pediatric Nurse Practitioner on staff, we are able to give them the care they need. In addition, we have close working relationships with area hospitals when specialty care is needed. We work together with our community to provide each young person with a comprehensive physical, treat their chronic illnesses and offer preventative education and care. Addictions - Our Substance Abuse Coordinator helps youth overcome their addictions on an outpatient basis on site. We also work closely with several inpatient rehabilitation programs so if any one of our youth needs additional help, we can help them by referring them to the appropriate programs. Our addictions specialists offer counseling to our kids who are struggling with addictions or are in recovery and teach preventative didactic classes. Youth Advocacy Center - Our attorneys represent our young people in civil legal matters, including immigration, housing, public benefits, and are advocates for our youth in the criminal justice system. From obtaining Identification to becoming emancipated, our attorneys provide an array of much needed services to the kids. In addition, the Youth Advocacy Department is responsible for helping to create the Tuition Waiver Bill and the Homeless and Runaway Youth Act. Pastoral - Our Pastoral Minister provides spiritual guidance to our young people. Although our roots are in the Catholic Church, we are non-denominational and we accept youth of all religious faiths. The Pastoral Minister organizes staff and youth retreats, runs meditation classes, and helps youth with anything they need, from clothing, to finding furniture for their new apartments and just being a friendly face to talk to. AFTERCARE- We help our kids find and maintain more permanent living situations by connecting with them after they leave us. Many of the youth come back to us for guidance and we maintain contact as they adapt in their communities. Mental Health - About 90 percent of our kids have a mental health diagnosis, ranging from depression to schizophrenia. Our Licensed Clinical social workers ("LCSWs") access them, provide short-term counseling and connect them to ongoing services in the community.
