Teresa Jurado, who manages the Parent Mentor Program, walked in and told me, \u201cI have a child who is medically complex, and I\u2019m a Parent Mentor.\u201d We had a real connection right away, and she helped me through so many things. For example, I\u2019d just moved to a new county and Aiden\u2019s Medi-Cal insurance kept getting canceled. It was so stressful, but Teresa was there the whole time. She helped me go through the chain of command for Medi-Cal reinstatement and told me to photograph myself dropping off the forms so that I had proof if the administrators said they never received my documentation. Eventually, we got my insurance back, and she helped me get retroactive coverage for the period when we\u2019d been uninsured. She also offered me so much emotional support and encouraged me to keep going with my education when I didn\u2019t know if I could do it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You became a Parent Mentor three years ago, after working with Teresa for many years as a mentee.

I loved the idea of guiding and supporting people in the same way that Teresa had supported me\u2014and of being a resource to Spanish-speaking families. It made me think of my mother, who didn\u2019t have a mentor and would have really benefited from that support.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How have you liked working as a mentor?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s been so great! I work with parents of children with medical complexity, like my son, Aiden. I often help them figure out how their kids can continue to go to school and get the resources they need\u2014and how they can participate in activities, like swimming or horse therapy. I also help families who speak Spanish but, in some cases, can\u2019t write in their own language.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The flexibility of the job is perfect for me, too. If Aiden is unexpectedly hospitalized or gets really sick, I know that I can take the time off that I need\u2014whether it\u2019s a few days or two weeks.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What\u2019s your primary goal when you meet with a new parent?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">My first goal is to read the room to see if it\u2019s a good time for mom or dad. Then I open the floor by asking, \u201cHow are you doing today?\u201d That lets me know if they\u2019re in the right space for a conversation\u2014sometimes they\u2019re overwhelmed or still processing and not ready to talk. But I always make sure they know I\u2019m there and they can call me or text me at any time, and we can just connect parent to parent.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What does being a Parent Mentor give to you?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It reminds me that I\u2019m not alone. There are other parents going through a similar situation. When I was first connected with Teresa, I realized it wasn\u2019t just my family that was affected by health challenges, but it\u2019s so many families across cultures. It made me feel more human. And being a Parent Mentor has made this feeling even stronger. It\u2019s a privilege to help families with their needs, whatever they are at that moment.<\/span> <section class=\"component component-cta impact-story-cta full-width-cta  no-image scheme-red\" >\n  <div class=\"module-container\">\n    <div class=\"component-cta-container\">\n      <div class=\"component-cta-wrapper\">\n        <h2 class=\"component-cta-title\">\n          Donate to the Children's Fund\n        <\/h2>\n\n                  <p class=\"component-cta-description\">\n            Gifts to the Children\u2019s Fund help to support family-centered programs like this one, ensuring that every family in our care has what they need.\n          <\/p>\n        \n        <div class=\"component-cta-buttons\">\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/my.supportlpch.org\/campaign\/575738\/donate?c_src=fy25pcn&c_src2=h2pcn-vurl-b&preset1=1000&preset2=500&preset3=250&preset4=100&amount=250&utm_source=pcn&utm_medium=vurl&utm_campaign=fy25h2pcn\"\n       class=\"component-cta-button btn btn-white\"      title=\"Donate\" >\n      Donate\n  \n  <\/a>\n                        \n                              <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Did you know?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children\u2019s Health has a grantmaking and advocacy<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">program focused on transforming the health care system so that it works better for kids<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">and families with the greatest health needs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Over the last 13 years, we\u2019ve awarded more than $800,000 to family-centered care programs at Packard Children\u2019s, including a Parent Mentor Learning Collaborative.
