Sometimes the first step toward healing is knowing you don't have to face grief alone.

Our Virtual Grief Support Group begins this evening.

Whether loss is recent or something you've carried for years, having a space to connect with others can make a meaningful difference.

The group will meet every third Wednesday of the month.

Grief doesn't follow a timeline. And no one should have to navigate it alone.

Loss can affect every part of our lives. Sometimes it brings sadness, uncertainty, anger, or feelings that are difficult to put into words.

Beginning Wednesday, October 21, Sojourner House will offer a Virtual Grief Support Group, meeting every third Wednesday of the month.

This group provides an opportunity for connection, understanding, and compassionate support.

Begins: Wednesday, October 21

Frequency: Every third Wednesday

Location: Virtual

Because healing looks different for everyone, and connection matters.

Recovery doesn't have to mean separation.

At Sojourner House, mothers can receive residential substance use disorder treatment while their children live with them.

While Mom participates in therapy, builds skills, and works toward recovery, her children can remain close to her and experience the routines of everyday family life.

Through Sojourner House MOMS, families can continue working toward stability with housing and supportive services.

Our approach recognizes that a mother's recovery and her children's well-being are connected.

Because when a mother has the opportunity to heal, possibilities can change for an entire family.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful groups from the University of Pittsburgh and Carlow University who recently spent time volunteering at Sojourner House MOMS!

Our volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help clean up and refresh our play yard, creating a more welcoming outdoor space for the children and families we serve.

Projects like this are about more than sprucing up a space. They help create places where children can play, explore, laugh, and simply be kids while their families work toward stability and brighter futures.

We’re grateful for the time, energy, and care these volunteers shared with our community.

Recovery takes a community—and we’re thankful to have Pitt and Carlow as part of ours. 💜

Every child deserves a safe place to sleep, an opportunity to learn, and the stability to simply be a kid.

For children experiencing homelessness or housing instability, everyday routines like attending school, completing homework, and spending time with friends can become much more complicated.

Tomorrow, the Homeless Children's Education Fund will bring attention to these challenges through its Stand Up Rally.

At Sojourner House MOMS, we recognize how important housing stability and supportive services are to the well-being of children and families.

We're proud to support efforts that keep the needs of children experiencing homelessness in the conversation.

Because every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.
