Thanksgiving officially starts the holiday season. Our Health and Wellness Coach, DeNisha Harbinson, wrote a blog of tips for eating through the holidays.

Family Scholar House has a rich history, originating in 1995 as an organization for Louisvillian mothers, then known as Project Women. Individuals from the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville, Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Sisters of Loretto, Dominican Sisters of Peace, Sisters of the Good Shepherd, and Sisters of Mercy joined together with the vision to support single mothers pursuing post-secondary education.

Our participants are the reason we do our work. Anytime there is an opportunity to spotlight a participant or graduate, we will always take it. Keneysha Cowden, a former Family Scholar House resident, graduate, and current support shared her story as the keynote speaker for the Home for Hope Gala. This is her story.

DeNisha, our Health & Wellness Coach keeps our families and staff focused on making healthy choices and daily movement. DeNisha creates meal plans, discussees stress management tools & customizes workouts. Check out her tips for how to stay on track with your fitness and how she motivates the participants.
