Support Parent Training

Support Parent Training

October 19, 2011

9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Our parent-to-parent matching (mentoring) is the foundation of our program.  Family Support Network will be offering a support parent training on Wednesday, October 19th.  When children are born prematurely or with a special need having someone to talk with who has “been there” makes all the difference in the world.     The purpose of the workshop is to teach parents so that they may support others by helping them cope with the initial shock and day-to-day challenges they face.   If you would like to help another parent by lending an ear through a difficult period, please join us to better prepare yourself for this wonderful volunteer position.  We are looking for parents who have experienced things such as speech delay, sensory concerns, feeding issues, autism and everything in-between.
For more information, or to register, contact Jodi at 919-662-4600 ext. 257 or jodi@familysupportonline.org.

We will meet between the hours of 9:00—11:00 a.m.  You are welcome to come for part or all of the time.  The next meeting will be October 12th at Starbucks, 3800 Lake Boone Trail, Raleigh.
