THERAPEUTIC MENTORING PRORAM

VOLUNTEERS OPPORTUNITY

WHAT IS THERAPEUTIC MENTORING?

Our therapeutic mentoring programme supports students who are finding it harder to navigate their adolescent years or who have been knocked off course due to circumstances out of their control. Through a series of therapeutic exercises and activities, over 20 weeks we journey with our mentees, using our three-pronged approach (loved, valued, able).​

WHAT ARE THE MODULES?

LOVED - This module has been created to help young people believe they are loved - not only by others, but also by themselves - partnered with self-esteem and knowing their worth. ​

VALUED - This module has been created to help young people develop their relationship skills. At LVA we believe our value is often found in our relationships – both with ourselves and others (on or offline). ​In this module, we begin by exploring the types of relationships – and their healthy foundations.  We then build upon these ideas, continuing to develop the qualities and expectations of our relationships.  Once we’ve established expectations and a definition of what is “healthy” – we examine what is “unhealthy.” We answer the questions: how to spot the signs of unhealthy relationship behaviour and how to cope when relationships go wrong.​

ABLE - This module has been created to help young people understand themselves better, building on what they have learnt about themselves and their relationships in the previous two modules. They will learn to identify and manage their feelings safely and appropriately.​ This module invites them to challenge their outlook, developing a growth mindset. They will look towards the future through goal-setting and gaining the tools needed to achieve those goals.​

What it involves:

•      a desire to see our young people be resilient and thrive. to know that they are valued and that their lives matters.

•      being committed to at least 20 weeks and being available during the school day

•      time requirements are flexible anything from 3 - 10 hours per week

•      you must attend all training and supervision and complete an enhanced DBS check
