SUPPORTING PARENTS

If you are a parent who would like to have the phone/internet support and friendship of another parent, please follow the instructions under "Request for a Supporting Parent" below. We will match you with a supporting parent as soon as possible and have that parent contact you!

If you are an experienced parent of a child with extraordinary needs and would like to volunteer to be a "supporting parent"--someone to be a phone/internet friend to another parent--please follow the instructions under "Supporting Parent Questionnaire" below. We will follow up with you and share some brief training materials to help you get started.

Another way that volunteers can support parents is by starting a Light for Parents team within their own WELS or ELS congregation. The members of this team would then use their God-given abilities to support parents within that congregation and possibly other nearby congregations as well. If you are interested in helping to start a Light for Parents congregational team, we have training and resources available to help you. Just let us know your interest by completing the following form. We'll get back to you soon!
