NEW EMPOWERMENT ALTERNATIVES (NEA)

 New Empowerment Alternatives (NEA) is a residential program with a therapeutic milieu for pregnant and parenting adolescent girls and their children from backgrounds of extreme abuse and neglect.  

 At NEA, teens are able to continue their education in the community while an intensive in-house curriculum helps them develop sound parenting and positive discipline techniques; household management and independent living skills;

 A firm understanding of child development, good nutrition and health and wellness as a lifestyle for themselves and their babies; computer literacy and work readiness skills; and much, much more.  Group and individual counseling helps teens find hope and healing. Babies and toddlers receive the age- and developmentally appropriate stimulation they need to be able to grow up strong and healthy, and to enter school ready to learn.

 True to its name, NEA has been empowering society’s most vulnerable families and creating new opportunities for at-risk young people for nearly three decades.  UIH Family Partners is proud of the fact that many NEA “alums” have gone on to attend college or obtained vocational certification and have built healthy, productive futures for themselves and their children.
