                                     Parent Mentor Training

The Family Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs invites you to a Virtual Parent Mentor Training.

•  Remember when your child was newly diagnosed?
•  Would it have helped to have someone to talk with who has “been there”?
•  Are you interested in supporting other parents?

In our interactive Parent Mentor Training learn from a fellow parent about:

•  Parent-to-Parent Support
•  Communication Skills
•  Listening Techniques
•  Community Resources

The Training will take place these dates and times:

Tuesday December 8th: 9am-11:30am (includes Microsoft pre-review)

Wednesday December 9th: 9am-11:30am

Thursday December 10th: 9am-12pm

 If you are a parent, caregiver, or guardian of a child/youth with special health care needs and would like to make a difference in the lives of others, please join us for this opportunity to become a trained Parent Mentor.

 This training is open to all families who have a child with a medical, physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition. As a trained Parent Mentor, you will become a part of our statewide network of volunteer parents supporting one another, sharing resources, and helping to navigate various systems.

*This event will open to all counties 3 weeks prior to training if space allows.

**Participants will be given a $50 gift card and a Medical Care Binder** 

If you have any questions prior to the day of training, please call the Family Phone Line: 800-359-3722 or email: adkinsd@michigan.gov
