Hi Mark, thanks for sharing your story. Very compelling. To add, for the last 7 years I have worked as a mentor for boys in out of home care, mainly foster care. In most cases, the mentoring last for around 1 - 3 years, completing mentoring sessions usually every 2 weeks. I am currently mentoring a boy who is 17. I have been with him for nearly 3 years now and we have developed a very positive and productive relationship built on trust and respect.
I can only imagine what it was like for you, and many others but I do know the difficulties and challenges young people in a similar situation are faced with and how this adversities impact their entire well being - social, emotional, physical and intellectual development. Therefore, in my position as a mentor, I aim to support these young males to overcome these challenges so they can work towards discovering their potential.
Was anything like this offered to you?
