The Playroom Volunteer at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Perinatal Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program will join the multidisciplinary team to support the health and well-being of patients with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Volunteers will be working in the adjacent playroom while their mothers are attending the program next door. They may also conduct or oversee the serving of meals and snacks, maintaining safety and sanitation standards, and assisting children with a variety of tasks as requested by the child. This includes ensuring a clean, safe, and nurturing environment that aligns with standards established by the department and/or regulatory entities. The objective of the volunteers is to assist the Playroom Coordinator and Playroom Aide in caring for the infants.
