| Cape Ann Families is the family support and education center of
Wellspring House. The program is rooted in our belief in the human
capacity for growth. It celebrates the value of each individual's
contribution to the learning process and acknowledges the
responsibility of local communities to support families. Cape Ann
Families helps people heighten their self-esteem, increase skills,
and connect with community resources.
Parent Aides are volunteers who are matched with families in the
community:
- They provide support by introducing them to local
resources, serving as a role model, and engaging in a mutual
relationship.
- Parent Aides do not need to be counselors or social
workers, just good listeners and non-judgemental friends.
- A free 12 hour training is provided as well as professional supervision.
- The committment required is about 2 hours each week for
a period of one year. Many Parent Aides have said they have
gotten back as much as they gave and more.
