Faith Forward

Our Services

At Faith Forward Ministries, Inc., we provide a holistic, compassionate approach to recovery, mental health, and family stabilization. Our services are 100% community-supported, confidential, and designed to meet individuals exactly where they are; without judgment or stigma.

Professional Counseling & Support Groups

Healing requires addressing the emotional and psychological roots of trauma, stress, and substance use. We offer professional, compassionate guidance for individuals and families navigating life's hardest chapters.

• Faith-Based Therapy: Confidential, professional mental health and addiction counseling led by a licensed therapist. We integrate clinical expertise with spiritual support to promote deep, lasting healing.
• Peer Support Groups: Safe spaces where individuals can share their journeys, find accountability, and heal alongside a community that truly understands the realities of recovery.
• Family Support Navigation: Active addiction affects the whole family. We offer resources, guidance, and counseling specifically tailored to help parents, children, and loved ones heal together.

Angel Arms Infant & Children Recovery Program

Our most vulnerable community members deserve a safe, nurturing environment to heal and thrive.

• Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) Support: Specialized, compassionate care and resources for infants born experiencing substance withdrawal.
• Safe Haven Environment: Temporary transitional support, safe environment housing, and care packages for young children caught in the crossfire of family substance use crises.
• Crisis Supply Care: Distribution of essential infant and childcare items (diapers, formula, clothing, pack-and-plays) to biological, foster, or kinship families stepping up to care for children in recovery.

Project Stand: Awareness & Education

We believe that breaking the stigma surrounding substance use disorders requires proactive community education and visible solidarity.

• Community Awareness Campaigns: Our signature Project Stand events unite thousands of Westmoreland County residents to stand visually and vocally against the stigma of addiction.
• Educational Workshops: We provide custom presentations for local schools, civic organizations, and churches focusing on prevention, recognizing the signs of substance use, and supporting recovery.
• Stigma Reduction Training: Equipping community leaders and businesses with the language and resources needed to create supportive environments for individuals in recovery.

Emergency Outreach & Resource Navigation

When an individual or family is in crisis, getting immediate access to basic necessities is the first step toward stability.

• Emergency Groceries & Food Distribution: Providing shelf-stable food boxes and emergency grocery supplies to local households experiencing extreme poverty or sudden displacement.
• Random Gifts of Kindness: A boots-on-the-ground outreach initiative where volunteers distribute physical supplies, hygiene kits, clothing, and hope directly to individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity.
• Resource Referral Network: Acting as a bridge to other regional resources, helping individuals navigate housing assistance, medical care, and detox/rehabilitation placements.
