tools (At the last HM Well webinar Gina shared that they had developed a new "Volunteer Peer Counselor Program" for their facility to help facilitate the needs of our families.  Marty had asked her to share specifics with EHM teams.)

"We used the following program for education -

"Every Mother Inc."
( http://everymother.org/newsletter.php#spotlight )

It is the program that the WIC program uses for their PC's.  It is a free download and an amazing program allowing you to teach specific to your needs.  We added our own hospital specific teaching. Click here for the job description they developed.  We currently have 7 volunteers that come daily/weekly to provide education to our families and assist the LC team.  They have been on the floor for 2 months and are amazing.  We have several on the waiting list for our next class. It has been a great help for our staff! We currently allow the PC to educate only.  As they gain more experience we will enhance the description."
