What do we do? The Elizabeth Ann Seton Program provides
education, practical assistance and one-on-one mentoring support to low
income pregnant and parenting women.
Mom to Mom Mentoring Programs Many
of our volunteers are mothers who want to share their parenting
knowledge with new moms by modeling positive parenting skills. Our
volunteer mentors provide new and expectant mothers with guidance and
assistance in meeting the health, education and emotional needs of
their children and themselves.
Educational Programs Utilizing
professional speakers EAS presents monthly educational sessions on
topics such as parenting, communication, health issues, finances, and
job seeking skills. EAS mentors refer participating families to
community service programs as needed.
Community Integration Through
a partnership with Lincoln Land Community College, EAS offers English
as a Second Language classes to Hispanic families in Beardstown,
Illinois.
Meeting Daily Needs EAS provides donated
clothing, food, diapers and personal care items to moms and their
children. Mentors provide emotional and social support. |
