Mentoring

 

Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee.

Reflex provide a mentoring framework which offers holistic support to each young person.

As well as establishing a positive mentoring relationship, Reflex looks to support each young person through the input of 2 other people offering friendship and practical support. This allows for each relationship to be effective in its own area of focus.

The mentor will provide care and support and be responsible for the targeted through care of the young person.

The practical helper will assist with the young person engaging with education, employment and training and the day to day needs surrounding these issues.

The befriender is someone who simply gets alongside the young person, providing a stable peer to peer relationship.

We work closely with related organisations by putting young people in touch with support agencies.
