Parents with infants and toddlers can benefit from mentoring within their community.
Why it matters: Mentoring relationships, especially with those who have “lived experience,” provides critical support to parents. This helps them connect with necessary resources to keep their family together or reunify after separation.
What’s in it for you: This webinar, based on a new policy brief from Safe Babies, features speakers from programs across the country sharing key lessons learned from starting and implementing a parent partner program.
Featured speakers:
- David Shuster, Mentor Parent Program Manager, Dependency Advocacy Center
- Lea Jackson, Parent to Parent Coordinator, Circle of Care
- Kimberly Nabarro, Parent Partner and Makua Ally, Epic ‘Ohana; Parent Leader, Safe Babies, ZERO TO THREE
