MENTORING SERVICES

Educational Mentoring

Our educational mentoring services provided individualized behavioral support services in academic settings to students who have developmental delays and/ or other emotional issues which may interfere with their ability to independently integrate in a traditional classroom setting. Our Mentors work collaboratively with classroom teachers to address the often intensive behavioral health needs of the identified student and together assure everyone’s health and safety.  Thus, a key role of the Educational Mentor is to offer additional mental health resources to the educational team and to facilitate opportunities for the child or teen served to become reintegrated in their academic community.

Community Mentoring

The community mentoring services of Connections, Inc. facilitate opportunities for children and teens with developmental delays or emotional issues to participate in goal directed educational activities in the community with the support of a trained adult.  The children & teens served within our mentoring program are matched with one of our support professionals to participate in social, educational, & recreational activities within their schools or communities.  Our primary goal is to promote, develop, & support the talents & interests of the children we serve while fostering feelings of success & personal achievement for them.  We also support the youth we serve to develop stronger peer relationships thru small group activities and to improve their self esteem in our summer social enrichment camps.  Community mentoring services are typically offered after school and during summer and holiday breaks.

Collaborating with many outstanding community partners who share our vision, we support people through creative implementation of the following services.
