COLLABORATION WITH SCHOOL COUNSELORS
This therapeutic mentoring is designed to support students who are having struggles with mental health afflictions (depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc), family challenges, addiction/substance abuse, etc. A therapeutic mentor works along side an individual’s school counselor and/or therapist to help support them and hold them accountable to their self-care and school work outside of the office.
Working with an individual’s school counselor allows the therapeutic mentor to help them learn organizational and time management skills, catch up on academic work, and complete assignments in a timely manner to achieve academic and social success. This success increases their self-esteem and confidence. The therapeutic mentor’s role aims to relieve parent’s of the stress and frustration elicited by trying to manage their children’s studying so that they are able to focus on healthy communication and family dynamics. At Bridge The Gap, we believe that collaborative care and individualized support is critical for teens in need of some extra help.
