PARENTS HELPING PARENTS: empowering parents to nurture children and prevent child abuse.

Are you a caring, empathetic individual? Do you want to help families in your neighborhood? Become a facilitator for a parent support group hosted by Parents Helping Parents!

Parents Helping Parents, a network of support groups for parents who want to improve relationships with their children, needs volunteers to act as group facilitators for the statewide network of parent groups.

Shared leadership, trust, respect, responsibility, and positive parenting are the key components of a successful support group. The group provides a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment for creating positive, caring peer relationships. Our approach is preventative- once the emotional support of the parent has been strengthened, a parent is better able to actively guide and nurture the family.

As a facilitator, you would help guide the discussion, suggest referrals to other services, and provide assistance when needed. Volunteers must commit 2 hours per week for at least one year. Orientation, training, and ongoing supervision are provided. Please call or email for more information on volunteering.
