"Parent-to-Parent Mentorship in Bartlesville, OK"
Event Date: 10/27/2007
Start Time: 09:00
Ending Time: 13:00

Event Description:
This half-day course is a collaboration with the Oklahoma Family
Network (OFN), Oklahoma's parent-to-parent program for families
raising children with special health care needs.

The OFN links trained parent mentors to families who are just
starting out raising a child who has developmental delays, medical
needs or a disability. Support from a mentor is available whether the
child is currently in an Oklahoma hospital or living at home.

Mentors are not professional counselors or therapists, but rather
experienced family members familiar with the emotions, fears and
realities that raising a child can present. Many of us with young
children need the support of someone who has been there, done that.

This course will teach parents about effective parent-to-parent
mentorship, communication, conflict resolution and more. In parenting
a child who has special needs, one can often feel isolated and
overwhelmed. The program is simple -- it is a relationship based on I
know, I understand and I care.
