Who We Are
It is EMR’s goal to nurture responsible motherhood, to empower the woman to make healthy life choices for herself and her baby.
We do this by offering emotional, spiritual, and material resources including advocacy, referrals, life skills training, and a residential program for mothers and babies that prepares them for transition to independent living.
At the Elinor Martin Residence for Mother & Child, we not only provide transitional housing for at-risk pregnant women, we strive to ensure that these mothers have the resources needed to deliver healthy babies, and that once their babies are born, they have acquired the necessary skills to provide and care for themselves and their children.
