Hand in Hand Parenting instructors are volunteering their time to offer free support calls for parents during the pandemic. You are welcome to join any of the calls on the list.
Bookmark this page so you can come back to it easily.
During a support call you can expect:
- The call will last right around an hour.
- The instructor leading the call will listen to ~7 parents during each call.
- The instructor will treat each parent with respect, appreciation, warmth and understanding.
- Each parent being listened to in the calls is a good parent and just needs to offload tension so they can be calm, confident, and can think more clearly.
- The ways different people offload tension can be through laughter, tears, trembling, and sometimes swearing or crying. They may voices thoughts they don’t mean. It’s OK to do this. They are good parents blowing off steam.
- Whatever is said in the support group will be anonymous, except for first names when they are used, and whatever parents share will not be spoken of again by call participants or the instructor.
Groups will meet in English, Spanish, Romanian, Hebrew, Arabic, French, German and Japanese, and possibly Hindi. All groups will meet by conference call. Check your local time at World Time Buddy.
