Mentor Training – Active Listening

Wednesday, Nov. 3

6:30 PM

When it comes to being a TTMF Peer Parent Mentor, taking an active listening approach is key.  Mentors and their mentees spend the majority of their relationship talking and listening to one another.  Active listening helps the listener fully concentrate in order to understand, respond, and remember what is being said, reduced misunderstanding, and provides reassurance of genuine understanding.  This training session will provide you with an overview of what active listening is and how to implement this approach with your mentees.  This session is intended to be interactive as you will have an opportunity to practice the skills taught with fellow mentors. 

This session is part 2 of 3 trainings being offered for those interested in being an in-hospital peer parent mentor at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital.  Session is open to current TTMF peer parent mentors and those interested in mentoring in-person or virtually.

Location: The Study Hotel in New Haven

Presented by Kristen Ezzo, LMFT, Director of Family Services and Sandra Platt, LMSW, Lead Parent Mentor

Light dinner will be served
