Parents Helping Parents: Empowering parents to nurture children and prevent child abuse.

Parents Helping Parents, a network of support groups for parents who want to improve relationships with their children, needs a volunteer to act as a group facilitator for a parent support group in the Gardner area. Parents come to a support group seeking encouragement and feedback on parenting-related issues. Free child care is provided whenever possible.

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 co-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. You will learn counseling techniques and crisis support methods.
