If you or your group wants to support or be a part of the Safe Families program, but are unable to take a child into your home, consider becoming a Mentor Family. Mentor Families provide supplemental support to the Safe Families during placement. Mentor Families will provide friendship, resources, daily living items, knowledge and prayer for families who are in crisis. Each crisis family who enters the Safe Families for Children program will work with a Mentor Family and will benefit from support and encouragement enabling every family to get back on their feet and allowing their children to return to a crisis free home.
A Mentor provides support for either the Safe Family or the family that is in crisis. Some examples of how a mentor may help:
- provide diapers to the Safe Family
- donate clothes
- help the Safe Family transport children to school
- provide gas or Publix cards to the Safe Family
- take a member of the in-crisis family to a job interview.
This would also be a fantastic service project or ministry for Sunday school classes, churches, etc. For more information contact Alison Schminke, (407) 877- 4006, aschminke@bethany.org.
