ORGANIZATION: HAND IN HAND FAMILY MENTORSHIP

Image_202203170856

This mother only speaks spanish. All of her children have Jervell and Lange-Nielsen Syndrome (they have 3 at home). The 9 year year old is deaf. The family has no medical insurance and have been denied Medicaid. The father works in construction and mother does not work. This family would benefit from a friend and community support as well as someone who could help mom apply for a program to assist her children with their disabilities.

As a mentor with Hand in Hand Family Mentorship, you'll receive training, ongoing guidance, monthly newsletters, and access to a robust resource directory to help your mentee identify and access the resources they need--empowering them to take the next step themselves.

About HAND IN HAND FAMILY MENTORSHIP

Location:

P.O Box 1715, EAGLE, ID 83616, US

Mission Statement

Hand in Hand Family Mentorship's goal is to build bridges of hope through friendship and mentorship.

Description

The Department of Health and Welfare, Boise City Lights, and Family Advocates send referrals to Hand in Hand of individuals and parents who could use support and friendship as they learn how to create healthy families.

These are good people, but struggle due to little tradition of family stability in their own upbringing. We receive notice of these individuals and pair them with a friend and mentor. Mentors do not do for these individuals what they can and should do for themselves, instead, our aim is to be a source of encouragement and guidance; creating a supportive arm as they learn to recognize consequences for choices and discover a better way to navigate life.

There is no specified program; the measure of success comes as people feel that someone cares and is watching out for them.

Our mentors keep in touch via text, email, phone, or an occasional visit. They connect them to more friendships within their immediate community and become a sounding board as they make choices and try to get their lives in a better place.

These healthy, one-on-one connections are leading people to want to fix their own lives, rather than someone telling them what needs to be fixed. It's the power of love, compassion, friendship, and connection.

Becoming a mentor means becoming a friend. The value of human connection for hope and healing cannot be overstated.
