Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan (CCSEM) offers a variety of services to help you and your family:

Project Hope

Focusing on Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties, Project Hope offers prenatal and parenting education to mothers so they can deliver healthy babies and be successful parents. To help serve our clients, donations of diapers and other infant care supplies are always needed to fill our “Baby Closets” at our offices in Southfield, Romeo, Pontiac, and Detroit.

Go to our Project Hope page to learn more or contact Maria Hernandez at hernandezm@ccsem.org (for Pontiac and Romeo locations) or Mary Beecy at beecym@ccsem.org in Detroit.

Women’s Specialty Outreach Program

Focusing on women in Monroe, Women’s Specialty Services is a unique program that helps support new moms suffering from substance abuse. From day one, moms begin and remain on a path of clean, healthy living for themselves and their children.  This program is exclusive to residents of Monroe county and is housed out of our Monroe Adult Counseling Center located at 234 Colonial Drive Monroe, MI 48162

To learn more about this program, contact Jerri Stotz, LMSW, CAADC, at 734-240-3850 ext 4102 or stotzj@ccsem.org

Supervised Parenting Time

This program will enable birth parent-child visitation at our Southfield Child Welfare, Adoption, and Fostercare location.  These visitation services help maintain the presence of birth parents in their children’s lives during difficult periods when courts are involved. The purpose of the program is to provide a safe environment for parents and children to visit, continuing and hopefully enhancing their bond while the children are in foster care. CCSEM will provide court testimony on visitation time assessments, which may reduce the time a child is in foster care. To learn more about this program, contact Kristi Hardin, Child Welfare, Adoption, and Fostercare Program Director at 248-548-4044, Ext. 3929 or hardink@ccsem.org.
