Families First, "Moms Helping Moms," is a program that matches mentor moms to moms of newborns. We will be holding trainings in both Providence and South County
Families First is a 501(c)3 non profit that matches "mentor moms" to moms of newborns who may be at risk for or are already experiencing postpartum depression and to women who are in the late stages of pregnancy and are experiencing depression.
At the core of our program are our dedicated and compassionate mentor moms who provide non-judgmental and compassionate care to their matched mom for approximately one hour a week for the first year. The relationship epitomizes the term, “mothering the mother” or as Families First puts it, “Moms Helping Moms."
Description: We serve all women in need, regardless of their insurance status or their ability to pay.
Volunteers participate in an 8 hour evening training that takes place over four weeks (two hrs/week). As required for any home visitation program, our volunteers are background checked, have to be up to date on their immunizations, and tested for TB. Lastly, we require that volunteers have car insurance and provide two references.
