This is a very busy time for the programme coordinator. You will be putting into practice all your plans for enabling volunteers and pregnant women to meet (more information in our set-up guide):
- Organising outreach activities in antenatal clinics
- Encouraging referrals from professionals
- Setting up stands at community events
- Using social media e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
- Distributing leaflets and posters widely in the community
- Press interviews
Once a pregnant woman asks for support, the process of establishing a trusting peer relationship is the next step. This will be a sensitive and flexible process that is adapted to individual needs.
