Parenting classes are offered, as well as individual and group counseling, educational services, health services, and courses in anger management and conflict resolution. Self-sufficiency services include GED and adult basic education classes, computer classes, vocational training in Cenikor's own work programs and participation in other job training programs out in the community. Life skills are taught so mothers can learn essential skills such as budgeting, balancing a checkbook, finding a job and securing and maintaining a suitable place to live. Health services are also provided. Medical and dental needs are covered both for the mother and her children.
Emphasis is placed on nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
A lot of importance is placed upon children's services and this is coordinated by a staff person who works exclusively with the children in the program. All of the needs of Cenikor's children are evaluated and addressed. The 12 to 18 month treatment program is followed by the re-entry phase as the woman and her children receive structured help to successfully reintegrate back into the community. The Cenikor Family Reunion Program is not easy and it is not for everyone, but for the courageous mothers and children who see it through, with determination and tenacity, life can once again be beautiful and full of unlimited possibilities.
