Group Mentoring

 

Mentoring services are evidence-based adult-supervised supports that are intended to improve a referral's ability to interact within the community in socially appropriate ways.  Programming offers a structured and trusting relationship that brings youth together with caring individuals who offer guidance and encouragement aimed at supporting the character and development of the youth.  Mentors will provide support, friendship, reinforcement and constructive example.  Benefits of structured programming could promote the social success of youth, better decision making skills, increase community involvement, improve the well-being of youth, prevent abuse/neglect and prevent and/or reduce ATOD use.
