If you have experienced a pregnancy crisis, and feel like you may be ready to provide support
to others, I would like to invite you to become a Neo-Fight Listener. Neo-Fight is a group that has been providing telephone
and hospital support for parents experiencing a perinatal crisis for over 30 years in Indianapolis.
Listeners are the most important part of Neo-Fight. As a parent-to-parent organization,
we rely on our Listeners to talk to other parents experiencing a perinatal crisis. Given the rapidly changing nature of neonatal
care, our Listener volunteers are more likely to share a similar experience with parents making calls through the Listening
Line, and are truly the link to the continued success of Neo-Fight.
Should you choose to become a Neo-Fight Listener, you will find yourself in the company of people
who have faced some of the most difficult situations possible, and yet who now have a positive outlook and a desire to help
others. If you think you would be good at talking to others who have experienced a situation similar to yours, please think
about attending Listener Training. If you have a friend or spouse who might be interested in joining us, please invite them
to contact Neo-Fight, too. We are delighted to welcome anyone to share their valuable experience by becoming a Neo-Fight Listener.
Listener Training Class covers the following topics:
- Crisis
- High Risk Pregnancy
- Neo-Natal Special Care
- Long Term Special Needs
- Bereavement
- Subsequent Pregnancy
- Listening Skills.
The individual sessions are led by medical staff and experienced listeners and will give
you the skills you need to be an informed and effective listener. It is our hope that you will join us and others like yourself
for the next Listener Training.
We are actively recruiting for our next Listener Training Class...for more information,
