Mentoring and Peer Support Program

Our mentoring program provides our clients with active and consistent support in communication skills, parenting skills, academic assistance, emotional support and coping skills. Mentors help clients meet their treatment goals while participating in therapeutic activities.

​

Peer workers are teens ages 14-17 that are directly supported by a Behavioral Health Technician.

Peer Support Skills (skills the client will learn and/or build upon):

• Communication Skills: Verbal and written communication skills, body language, active listening, and possible barriers to communication.

• Decision Making Skills: Conflict resolution, developing goals, and professional conduct and demeanor.

• Teamwork (how to work effectively as a team): Working independently, duty of care, and occupational health and safety.
