Child Care

Letter — Parent Counselors Needed

May 1978

Historical May 1978 notice or report. Original dates, prices, services and contacts describe the period; current availability has not been established.

The Family Resource Center is seeking adult volunteers to befriend and to help families in which child abuse has occurred

When families participate in the Family Resource Center program, they need treatment services and supportive services. Abusive parents feel alone, helpless and overwhelmed by responsibilities. They need a friend they can trust and depend on being understanding during times of stress. Most parents have relatives or friends to look to in times of stress, but FRC families don’t have anyone.

Our adult volunteers are called Parent Counselors. They are not professionals; they are ordinary citizens who like and respect people and want to help others.

If you are interested in becoming a Parent Counselor, please call Family Resource Center at 534-9350 or write the Center at 4386 Lindell Blvd. Training is provided for all volunteers. Other volunteer programs are also available.

Mrs. Lois Goldring Volunteer Coordinator
