Therapeutic Mentoring
Our highly trained mentors provide ongoing guidance and support to children and adolescents, helping them navigate life's challenges and build resilience.
Therapeutic Mentoring interventions are designed to address one or more goals on a youth's existing outpatient or In-home Therapy treatment plan, and are provided while engaging the youth in various types of activities like social activities, recreational activities, athletic activities, artistic or creative activities, educational or vocational activities, or activities of daily living based in the community (e.g., taking public transportation, applying for a job, etc.)

How does it work?
Therapeutic Mentoring Services are provided to youth (under the age of 21) 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. Therapeutic Mentoring offers structured, one-to-one, strength-based support services between a therapeutic mentor and a youth for the purpose of addressing daily living, social, and communication needs.
Therapeutic Mentoring services include supporting, coaching, and training the youth in ageappropriate 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 pursuant to a behavioral health treatment plan developed by an outpatient, or In-Home Therapy provider in concert with the family, and youth whenever possible, or Individual Care Plan (ICP) for youth with ICC. These services help to ensure the youth’s success in navigating various social contexts, learning new skills and making functional progress, while the Therapeutic Mentor offers supervision of these interactions and engages the youth in discussions about strategies for effective handling of peer interactions.
