The Restoration House

Family Systems Research & Integration Project

The Restoration House proposes to design and explore a whole-family therapeutic assessment and outcomes model that strengthens long-term family stability for single mothers and their children participating in its two-generation housing and economic mobility program. Rooted in a belief that every family is created with dignity, purpose, and the capacity for restoration, this work seeks to support both healing and forward movement.

Families entering TRH often face layered challenges related to trauma, poverty, parenting stress, and child behavioral needs. While the organization partners with trauma-informed therapists who provide individual therapy for mothers and children, services are not yet coordinated through a systemic family framework, and therapeutic outcomes remain difficult to measure and connect to broader program success.

Phase I will support the development of a coordinated, data-informed therapeutic model that both expands existing services and introduces new components, including:

• a whole-family therapeutic assessment at program entry
• a family systems-based treatment planning framework
• a collaborative treatment team approach
• a centralized data and evaluation system to measure outcomes for mothers and children

This model builds on the organization’s two-generation approach by addressing the relational and mental health dynamics that influence both generations. It reflects a commitment to walking alongside families in their healing journey—supporting restoration of key relationships with God, self, others, and creation.
