Military Parents as Advocates & Mentor Navigator Program
Starts April 9, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. (weekly course, every Tuesday until May 14) More classes will be offered. Location: Fort Macarthur Community Center Southwest Room Contact Leah Goss, EFMP-FS Coordinator for questions and to register at (310) 653-5536 or Leah.Goss@us.af.mil
IEP course is FREE | DOD Civilians, Contractors, all branches of AD, and Retirees. Registration required. This is a 6 week certification course for parents who have children that require an IEP. Parents will learn vital information, techniques, resources, advocacy, and strategies for improving the lives of autistic and developmentally disabled children. They will also learn how to identify other families in need and serve as mentors for those families. This is critical in the transient military community, where families often lack traditional support systems such as close-knit family, long-term friendships, and religious institutions. As trained parent advocates, they will receive ongoing training and support for effective community organizing and advocacy, ultimately striving for legislative change and policy shifts.
