Coaching families through crisis

You may be familiar with Safe Families’ volunteer hosts who care for children while their parents resolve a temporary crisis. Did you know you can also volunteer as a family coach?

Family coaches like Bridget support client families and volunteer hosts in tangible ways. While needs vary, coaches commonly provide transportation, organize resources, and gather supplies that help hosts and parents give children the best care during difficult times.

Bridget loves volunteering as a family coach because she can provide practical help that strengthens families and keeps children out of the child welfare system. “This is loving people right where they are,” she said. “Not just talking about a problem but doing something to help.”
