Parents in Leominster need your help!
We need a volunteer (you!) to act as a group facilitator for a parent support group in Leominstera. As a facilitator, you will be maintaining the safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment which characterizes our support groups.
Requirements:
- Must demonstrate an understanding of stressors within a family that could potentially trigger child abuse and/or neglect
- Have previous experience working with parents and families
Commitment:
- 14 hours of training held in our main office in Watertown, MA
- 1 year commitment meeting with groups weekly for 1.5 hours (day/time is flexible
Our groups provided a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for creating positive and 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.
