PAVE Helping Parent Program

There is an opportunity to become a Helping Parent through PAVE. They
will be having an 8-hour Parent to Parent training (broken into two
sessions) that will cover the following areas:
1) Communication Skills and Emotional Response
2) Coping Strategies
3) Parent to Parent procedures and Community Resources
4) Family to Family Health Care and Information

After the training you become a Helping Parent. When a call comes in
from a parent that just received a diagnosis and wants to talk with
another parent, a helping parent is matched to be a resource for that
person. If you are interested and would like more details, please
contact Susan Jackson at PAVE via email at sjackson@wapave.org.
