Visiting Parents Program
Ups and Downs provides a variety of services to the parents and friends of people with Down syndrome in Calgary and Southern Alberta.
In addition to preparing this guide for the parents of newborns with Down syndrome, we sponsor workshops and seminars, hold monthly coffee mornings, publish a monthly newsletter and host various social events throughout the year. We also encourage new parents to meet and draw reassurance and help from our membership.
Because the parents in our group have already experienced struggles similar to those you may be facing now, you can find an abundance of practical advice waiting for you through our group and particularly from the parents in our Visiting Parents Program. The Visiting Parents Program is comprised of trained volunteers who willingly give their time because they remember what is like when they were told their baby had Down syndrome. They will be happy to listen to your concerns, answer your questions and share with you what life has been like for them and their families.
To contact a volunteer in Calgary, just call Ups and Downs at 289-4394 or have your nurse or a friend call for you. Even if you live outside Calgary, Ups and Downs can arrange a contact for you.
We also have our New Parent Package now available! This is 48-page booklet provides information about Down syndrome, local resources, parent stories and much more! Simply shop our store or call our office to order.
