MOM MENTORS

Help A Family Heal

Mothers in Southwest Florida can change lives for the better by volunteering with Children’s Network’s Mom Mentors program. Mom Mentors are matched with other mothers in our community who are working to be reunited with their children. By offering support, providing guidance, and building a positive relationship with another mom, our mentors walk side-by-side with fellow moms through the challenges and joys of reunification.

The Mom Mentors program supports local mothers whose children have been removed by the court system on their journey of reunification with their children. Volunteer mentors can make a lasting difference for a local family in as little as an hour a week.

The Mom Mentors team at Children’s Network of Southwest Florida will provide you with the training and support you need to become an excellent mentor. Areas that the training will cover include providing social support, helping mothers connect with community resources, providing basic parenting education, being a positive role model, and forming a caring relationship with the mentee to reduce feelings of isolation. Plus, your own lived experience as a mother will prove invaluable.

The program matches mentors – caring people like you – with women whose children have been removed by the court system. Why that happens varies from family to family, with underlying causes including past substance abuse, trauma, domestic violence, and more. However, the mothers being mentored have already made remarkable progress and enormous changes to their lives – and with your support, they can continue to grow into the best moms they can be.

Mom Mentors is an initiative of Children’s Network of Southwest Florida. We are the non-profit organization contracted by the Florida Department of Children and Families to lead the child welfare system in Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry, and Glades Counties (Circuit 20).
