The Therapeutic Mentor (TM) provides positive role modeling for children and youth who have challenges in areas including social skills, behavioral control, problem solving and conflict resolution. Mentors assist children and youth to identify and capitalize on their existing strengths to learn, practice, and perform new positive, age-appropriate ways of interacting with peers and adults. You will assist the children and youth to put these new skills into practice within and outside the home in order to incorporate them into their daily lives. Therapeutic Mentoring services are provided wherever the child or youth requires them, including home, community centers, after-school programs, or any other location where the child or youth encounters difficulties.
