Are you a parent in Scotland? Do you remember what it was like becoming a first time parent?
The Why Not Trust are looking for volunteers to become Peer Mentors, providing support to soon to be or new care-experienced parents. We aim to create a judgment and stigma-free community of mentors and mentees where trusting one-to-one relationships can be established.
Some of the many benefits include:
• Become part of a supportive, non-judgemental community
• Get matched with a fellow parent you have something in common with
• Meetings that fit your schedule – online or in person
• Receive accredited mentor training
• Get paid for your travel expenses and other expenses
• Improve your own confidence as well as your mentees
• Develop your communication and listening skills
The Why Not? Trust is working towards doing things differently. If you are a care-experienced parent and would like to get involved in our Peer Mentor programme, please email our Peer Mentor Lead Ashleigh at ashleigh.donaldson@whynottrust.org or on 07850725799.
Mentoring will predominately take place online. Travel expenses covered if meeting in person.
