The Center for Great Expectations (CGE) operates as a nonprofit in the individual and family services sector, offering trauma-informed, evidence-based care for mothers, pregnant women, and adolescents. Its residential programs provide safe, stay-with-your-child options for up to age five, and it uniquely serves pregnant or parenting adolescents within New Jersey. The organization emphasizes the parent–child relationship as central to treatment, aiming to prevent child removals and to reunify families where separations have occurred, while integrating harm-reduction principles and Medication Assisted Treatment as part of its co-occurring care model. Located in Somerset, New Jersey, CGE provides an integrated continuum of care that includes residential services, an on-site child development center, and community-based supports such as home visitation, doula services, and outpatient programs. It also operates The Institute of CGE, which focuses on relational, trauma-informed professional development and consulting to strengthen connections within the broader community. The organization serves a broad client base through these programs and has established partnerships and initiatives to advance its mission within the state.
