Volunteering
To Volunteer or Not to Volunteer
 
There are many, many reasons to volunteer in today’s society.  There is an enormous need to be met, and it takes caring citizens like you and I to meet that need.  In your community there are many opportunities for you to volunteer.  You can spend time and energy in a local senior citizens’ center, animal shelter or even your local Head Start center.  (Head Start is always  looking for helpful, willing volunteers.)
 
When you volunteer, you give your time and energy to help someone else.  Volunteers do make a difference and they help make the world a better place.  However, when you spend a little bit of time volunteering, you’ll learn that the time you spend helping others is not only for the benefit of the person or group that you are helping, but volunteering can be very beneficial to the volunteer, also.
 
Some benefits of volunteering are:
  • gain job experience
  • learn new skills
  • develop talents
  • meet new people
  • develop references for education and/or job opportunities.
You can find volunteer opportunities for any field in which you are interested that will help you gain more knowledge about a certain subject.  Remember: when you volunteer, you are benefiting the person or group receiving your help and  yourself.

Parenting/Depression
Parenting Through Troubled Times
 
Depression is an illness that is very painful to live with.  It causes people to withdraw from social contacts, from their children and families, and even from the help that could save them from years of suffering.  Many people do not talk about depression and yet it is one of the most common mental illnesses that caregivers, especially parents, experience.  In fact, one out of five Americans will be affected by depression during their lives. The hopeful news is that treatment for depression works.  More than 70% of those who get treatment will get better.
 
The following suggestions can help parents recovering from depression to help their children as well as themselves.  By making even a simple change, you are helping the people you love.
  • Take care of yourself is an important part of taking care of your family.
  • Talk to your family about your depression and make sure they know the illness is not their fault.  Be ready to talk about it more than once.  It often takes time for families and children to understand this sensitive subject.
  • Provide a safe and secure environment for your child.  Routines and guidance help children feel safe.
  • Build your child’s self-esteem through praise and encouragement.
  • Consistency is important.  Make sure your child attends school every day and enroll him or her in quality after-school activities.
  • Encourage your child’s relationships with his or her friends and other caring adults.
  • Use your resources.  Ask a partner, friend, or relative for help in watching your child or with transportation to school or activities.  And find out more about the resources available to you through Head Start.
