The mentoring programme develops a young person's self esteem and social skills through support and encouragement from a volunteer mentor. 

 

How does it work?

The Mentor spends time with the young person each week to chat, have fun and to help the young person overcome any difficulties he/she may have.

 

Through working together the young person is encouraged to find new ways of dealing with difficulties such as talking to others, managing stress and breaking down a problem into manageable steps. These skills help the young person to overcome any difficulties they face now and gives them the coping skills to deal with and bounce back from any challenges they may face in the future.
