The Nurturing Connections Program provides emotional support, parenting education, referrals to community resources and follow-up contact to new parents in the Greater Norwich area; thereby helping to develop healthy family relationships to reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect. Each volunteer has a small caseload of families that they check-in with weekly via phone; the volunteers maintain contact with the families for three to six months and in some cases for up to a year, providing helpful information, support and assistance. The volunteers will also have an opportunity to meet in groups with the families for events, and are provided with ongoing support and training by the Program Coordinator. It is a wonderful opportunity to be involved to support a new family!

Volunteers need to be able to listen and communicate to families in a non-judgemental way while providing families with appropriate developmental, physical and emotional changes that are occurring to their new baby.

This opportunity is sponsored by: Madonna Place
