Little Footprints Support Group Facilitator
ORGANIZATION: EveryStep
Please visit the new page to apply.
*Currently being held virtually.*
Amanda the Panda Group Facilitators make a difference by guiding group members through discussion and allowing space for individuals to share and remember their loved ones. Our Little Footprints Support Group is a specific group for individuals that have experienced perinatal or infant loss.
With the goal of promoting peer support and connectivity, our Braving Grief support groups work to recognize how grief affects our minds and our bodies. Each group session includes activities and discussions that help participants identify and process grief emotions like anger and guilt, learn healthy coping skills, and create rituals to honor loved ones who have died. Groups will meet for 6 consecutive weeks, 1 night per week.
Volunteers must complete the Amanda the Panda Facilitator training prior to facilitating groups. Trainings are being held virtually right now.

Mission Statement

Description
EveryStep, formerly known as HCI Care Services & Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa, has been offering care and support for Iowans for many decades.
Our roots date back to 1908, when a group of nurses saw the need for public health nursing in Des Moines and founded an organization to fulfill that mission.
Since then, EveryStep has led the charge to address a wide variety of vital community health care and social service needs, offering prenatal support and home visits to new moms, assistance to immigrants and refugees, compassionate hospice and home care services, and grief and loss support.
Today, EveryStep has a strong reputation and a long history of serving vulnerable populations to help them live their best lives. Today, the non-profit’s 30 plus programs, more than 370 employees and nearly 900 volunteers offer care and support to Iowans in 47 counties.
