    Women's Specialty Services at Our Hope Association

    If you're a pregnant or parenting mother wondering where to start with recovery, custody concerns, or finding services, Mackenzie Hamann, Certified Parent Instructor and Case Manager at Our Hope Association, and Jillian Ring, LLMSW CAADC-DP, Clinical Therapist at Our Hope Association, explain how women's specialty services work. They define the whole-person approach that combines residential support for substance use and mental health, help navigating CPS as a resource, parenting education, and parent-child bonding supports. You’ll hear how staff connect clients to PCPs, OB‑GYNs, dental and vision care, and community partners like Michigan Works for employment and housing resources, often helping schedule and attend appointments so connections are solid. The discussion emphasizes family preservation, practical steps to build supports before discharge, and ongoing community programs clients can continue after treatment.

    Residential Treatment as Part of the Continuum of Care

    Kaylyn Hosmer, Operations Manager at Our Hope Association, and a program graduate herself, explains what residential treatment is and when it fits into recovery. She also discusses how Our Hope's continuum of care helps maintain motivation, reduce relapse risk during placement gaps, eliminates transportation barriers, and let clients begin therapeutic work and relationships immediately rather than restarting in a new facility. You’ll learn how a live-in, substance-free program helps women step away from triggers, address root causes of addiction, begin therapy, build daily routines, and plan aftercare so they can return to work, parenting, or school with greater confidence.
