Could you be a Boost Family Mentor?

• Do you have 3 hours a week to give to a family for a 4-6-month period?
• Do you have experience with children? This could be through work or volunteering, having younger siblings or raising your own children.
• Are you an empathetic, non-judgmental and friendly person, who can offer guidance in a non-patronizing and respectful way?
• Are you resilient to setbacks, and open to trying new ideas? Can you share that mindset with parents who need help to build their self-esteem?

Typical areas in which parents need support to achieve their goals are:

• Developing family routines, e.g., bedtime, morning, mealtimes.
• Setting boundaries around behaviour and effectively maintaining those boundaries.
• Developing a support network, contacting local baby/toddler groups or joining parenting classes.
• Developing the parents own self esteem.

If you can answer yes to the questions and are ready to mentor a family, please visit connectionsupport.org.uk/volunteer to apply.
