Parenting Programs

Meld is seeking Group Meeting Facilitators.

Group Meeting Facilitators lead and encourage discussion on a wide range of topics important to young parents and growing families. This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in making a positive difference by mentoring and providing guidance to families. Groups meet once a week.

The programs of Meld include:

  • Meld for Young Moms is for adolescent mothers who are pregnant or have children ages birth to two years.
  • Meld for Young Dads is for young fathers who often face emotional, societal, financial, and interpersonal barriers to playing an active role in their child's life.
  • Meld for Growing Families is for mothers of children ages three and up and for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.
  • Meld Special is for parents of children with special needs including a wide range of illnesses and disabilities and covers topics not found in medical information.

Methodist Healthcare Ministries is a licensed network affiliate of the national Meld program of Parents As Teachers National Center (St. Louis, Missouri).
