Bsomebody2someone
Author: Dr Wayne French / Jerry Unser
A comprehensive resource for training student mentors and developing mentoring programs in schools.
This resource is based on the premise that mentoring is a natural, healthy and necessary part of human development. It is not only for ‘at risk’ students, but is a necessary component of resilience in all students. Although natural mentoring can be invited but not forced, effective mentoring can be fostered through intentional, short term mentoring programs.
The Bsomebody2someone resource package includes all nine booklets and a CD along with PowerPoint presentations for each of the booklets.
