Overall the BBBS youth mentoring program is quite successful and is clearly needed in the community to help those deemed as vulnerable, through interaction between a mentor in a one-to-one setting or group arrangement, in many different ways for a period of 12 months or

In 2013, I graduated from Mount Olive College with a Bachelor of Science is Clinical Psychology. As an undergraduate I did my internship with the state of North Carolina – Vocational Rehabilitation at WorkSource East in Goldsboro, NC. I am currently in a counseling training program at East Carolina University where I am working on obtaining my Master’s in Substance Abuse and Clinical Counseling.

While residing in Macon for school, I have noticed that many of the children here in Macon are in need of the some form of mentorship, and I understand that, through Zeta, we have the youth auxiliary groups, and that is a great benefit to the community. However, I believe that the youth need a more personal, a more individual relationship with someone. There is a greater chance of change, progress, and betterment in the youth if they have a chance at a more individualized relationship with someone they can view as a mentor and role

Tim saw this and became inspired to become a mentor with the Helping Services For Northeast Iowa. In order to be a mentor “The ability and willingness to value the mentee as a person; Develop mutual trust and respect; Maintain confidentiality; Listen both to what is being said and how it is being said; Help the mentee solve his or her problems, rather than give directions; Focus on the mentee’s development and resist the urge to produce a clone.” (University of Washington). Since the start of the Youth Mentoring Services in Northeast Iowa, 1,137 youth have been connected to a role model (“Youth Mentoring Services”). Kids who are mentored have ”significantly more confident in their academic abilities and considerably less likely to display behavioral problems.”(Centre for Addiction and Mental Health). Through the mentoring experience, Tim has learned that the best part is guiding some fun into a child's life while educating them (Egemo). Tim has helped a few children become better human beings through this mentoring

During my undergraduate studies, in Behavioral Healthcare at USF, I had the privilege to intern at the Juvenile Diversion Program (JDP) in Hillsborough County. I interacted with children: from diverse races; cultures; socioeconomic status; countless had involvement with protective services, and who committed first time misdemeanor offenses. Under the direction and guidance of my supervisor (a clinical social worker), I developed proficient interviewing and assessment skills (using GAIN Q and EARL instruments). I fell in love with the children and profession which led to my decision to pursue a master’s degree in social work.

Bulanda and McCrea article discusses a study on a program called stand up help out (SUHO). The authors found that African American youth are growing up in an “dangerous, deprived homes” environment that are impacting their lives and future employment (Buland & McCrea, 2013). SUHO provides the African American Youth, “care from instructors, care from peers, care through constructive community action initiatives and mentoring elementary school children” (Buland & McCrea, 2013).

All programs and trainings combing the total reached to $11,765. This total covers all three counselors and each assessment. The total would remain the same for following years as we continue to keep up our knowledge to date and continue to train new counselors if needed.

An additional to the community group is the Mentoring 29:11 program. With this program, at -risk students are empower to succeed in the communities by attending summer enrichment programs, seminars and helping in their community. All of these organizations sheds some light on educating the students and families in communities around the area.

When registration time rolled around in fall 2015, I only needed 12 hours to graduate in May; however, I knew I would be bored and yearned for a class that was meaningful and would end my college career on a positive note. When Dr. May mentioned the mentoring at-risk youth class I was hooked. Although he tried to talk everybody out of it, I knew that this was going to be a perfect fit for me. I have always enjoyed working with youth, whether it was through coaching cheerleading, volunteering in the local elementary school, or spending afternoons at a halfway house for abused and neglected children. By signing up for the mentoring program I was able to try something I had never tried before— using my love for youth to create a lifelong one-on-one

The first day at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School the organization greeted students. The organization wanted the students to know that the “community supports their education” (O’Neill,Jennifer). Another way The 100 Black Men participants in empowering children is by interacting with “MORE (men organized to raise engagement)” (“National”). The organization also helps with many different academic programs. One of the many programs is called “project SOAR” which helps support achievements a student has in school (“Education). Another way the 100 Black Men is empowering is by leadership skills. The organization has a mentoring program. The mentors are trained online and has at least a one relationship with one school per year (“Mentoring”). When a child is being mentored they are less likely to skip school. Also students are more likely to have a positive attitude and become more exuberant (“Mentoring Impact”). Altogether the 100 Black Men is an empowering group too many adults and

The counseling center wants to decrease the stigma about mental illness amongst student’s at the University of Mississippi making them aware that they are here to

This is definitely a difficult situation to be placed in as a counselor. As you stated in your post according to the ACA code of ethics it’s the counselor’s primary responsibility to respect the dignity and promote the welfare of the client but in this situation, it’s extremely difficult. In this case scenario will be hard for the counselor to promote independence and other self-care activities due to her current mental state. So, as a counselor, it could be therapeutic for her to have that time to spend with her grandchildren and transporting them around which could give her some form of purpose but there’s a safety concern to have her engaging in those type of activities. The client stated she is delusional and reports have auditory hallucinations

Devoting my senior undergraduate year to helping the homeless and interacting with offenders at Community Crisis Incorporation Service truly reinforced my desire to help the underprivileged. During this internship, I was able to step outside of my comfort zone and connect with individuals that I have not engaged with before. I enjoyed the feeling that I received by helping them enhance their wellbeing and providing them with useful resources that accommodated their needs. After my internship was complete, I have continued to volunteer each winter in the Warm Night Hyperthermia Program assisting families stay warm during the colder months. Morgan State Graduate School of Social Work Education has assisted me to fulfill my sense of duty in helping impoverished adolescent girls, boys and families to succeed. Hope, encouragement and someone who believes in you are often the little push one needs to live up to their full potential.

The following literature review reflects on the different mentoring programs for youth and how it can eliminate some of the things that happens throughout the day after school hours. The review look at the Growth and Evolution in mentoring. It also review the large scale evaluations of youth mentoring programs.

Your post was fascinating to me. Isaac seems overprotected by his mother, and his mother is tough to work with in resolving his issue. Based on this information, as a school counselor, building a friendly relationship with the parent would hopefully ease your concerns about Isaac's mother. In this case, the welfare of Issac is at state due to being in a dysfunctional family and is very important that you focus more on him. Under the ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors, Parents/Guardians have the rights and responsibilities of the welfare of their child. As the child's counselor, based on Isaac's case study, it is in Isaac's and his family best interest to seek and receive professional help in resolving the issues that he is facing
