Therapeutic Mentoring (TM)
Therapeutic Mentoring teaches kids to solve problems creatively and develop other essential life skills. The program offers structured one-to-one, strength-based support services to youth (under 21) to address daily living, social, and communication needs. It gives children and teens the opportunity for skill building through experiences that would naturally occur in their everyday life, at their home, foster home, childcare center, or other setting.
Therapeutic Mentoring can help build a child's confidence by matching them with a skilled adult. Therapeutic Mentors work closely with other important people in a child's life such as therapist, teacher, and members of your wraparound team. Services are provided in any setting where the youth reside, such as the home (including foster homes and therapeutic foster homes), and in community settings, such as schools, childcare centers, respite settings, as well as other culturally and linguistically appropriate community settings.
Our skilled Therapeutic Mentors provide an enriching experience for their mentee including:
Coaching
Supporting
Training in age-appropriate behaviors
Teaching interpersonal communication, conflict resolution and problem-solving
We can also check with your insurance provider to see if this service is covered.
