Employment Opportunities:
Warm Line Specialist Supporting Black/African American Families
The Warm Line is growing again! We are hiring a part-time Warm Line Specialist (20 hours a week). This position will provide support to parents calling in during weekly shifts or when a parent requests a cultural match as well as assisting with program support and administrative tasks. Work is done remotely and the schedule is within the 9-5pm working day.
Warm Line Specialists provide peer support and work with pregnant and parenting families who are struggling, at-risk for, or are experiencing perinatal mental health challenges. Some examples could include anxiety, sadness, or grief around unexpected parenting/birth outcomes, depression, sleeplessness, scary or intrusive thoughts.
While working with a parent, the Warm Line Specialist will be providing emotional support and wellness planning, researching referrals, reaching out to providers, and resource navigation to address barriers and navigate mental health care systems or other services as needed.
This is an exciting position for an individual who is passionate about peer support and breaking the stigma and barriers parents face in the perinatal period.
