Therapeutic Mentoring Program
Therapeutic Mentoring offers structured, one-to-one, strengths-based support services between a Therapeutic Mentor and a youth for the purpose of addressing daily living, social and communication needs.
Our Approach
Therapeutic Mentoring includes supporting, coaching, and training the youth in age-appropriate behaviors, interpersonal communication, problem-solving and conflict resolution , and relating appropriately to other children and adolescents’, as well as adults, in recreational and social activities. These services are provided to help ensure the youth’s success in navigating various social contexts, learning new skills and making functional progress. The Therapeutic Mentor offers supervision of these interactions and engages the youth in discussions about strategies for effective handling of peer interactions.
Therapeutic Mentoring is provided to each youth in any setting where the youth resides,- such as the home (including foster homes and therapeutic foster homes),
- and in other community settings such as school, child care centers, respite settings
- and other culturally and linguistically appropriate community settings.
