Parent Mentors

Parent Mentor Training

The Family to Family (F2F) Parent Mentor is a trained volunteer parent of a child with special needs, who is willing to give peer support to another parent, whose child is currently in the First Steps system. Peer support would be encouragement and empathetic sharing, to help a family work through the feelings and concerns of raising a child with special needs. Click on Parent Mentor to access the on-line training if you would like to begin the process of being considered as a Parent Mentor. If you are currently in First Steps and would like to be matched with a Parent Mentor, contact the F2F Parent Liaison in your First Steps cluster. Go to www.inf2f.org and click on Services to find the contact information for your Parent Liaison.
