Edmonton Twin and Triplet Club
Support Programs
Two unique Support Programs: 'Buddy Support' and '3, 4 or More!'
Buddy Support Program
The Buddy Support program began in 1999, and since then, our club has matched many parents up with a buddy and the program has proved to be very successful in offering support to our members.
The intent of buddy support is simple – if you are looking for support from a fellow club member who may have multiples the same age or who may live in the same area, we can do our best to connect you with someone. Also if you would like to offer support to a new mom, please give us a call. Support can be offered by telephone, or by getting together for coffee with or without kids, meeting at social gatherings the club offers (i.e., general meetings, area coffee parties, play dates, social outings, etc.). It can be whatever you make it and want it to be so please let us know if you can be part of this valuable program!
