SUMMARY:Youth Mental Health & Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Adolescence is a crucial period for developing and maintaining the habits important for mental health and well-being\, but some adolescents are at greater risk of mental health conditions due to their living conditions\, stigma\, discrimination or exclusion\, or lack of access to quality support and services. This is why mentoring is so critical. A supportive adult presence – that allows for a shared connection and vulnerability – contributes to positive growth and adaptation\, nearly fours years after COVID entered our lives. Come and learn how to promote resiliency among young people in this training\, targeted to direct service youth workers and mentors. \n  \nLearning Objectives: Participants will identify many of the mental health issues that youth are currently facing with particular mention of the rise in both isolation and suicide in the US at this time. Participants will expand their understanding of the general & specific things one can do about it in their role as mentor. Participants will examine the role that their culture plays in understanding how best to respond to young people when they are struggling. Participants will increase their understanding of the role that caring relationships with adults can have on a young person’s overall sense of well-being. \n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn with MMP - Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Lunch & Learn Sessions – meet the third Tuesday of each month. The event may take the form of networking\, a time to get deeper in conversation with others who value and support mentoring relationships or they may offer short spurts of information on updated research\, happenings and/or tools. We welcome you as often as you can join us. \n  \nThe purpose of this session is to demystify the process by which state government functions and to encourage civic participation by programs and their participants. MMP’s Advocacy session supports individuals to develop their personal policy and advocacy skills to become more civically engaged citizens and effective advocates for the issues they care about. This session is a free skill and professional development opportunity open to anyone interested in attending. While the session is tailored to programs that support mentoring relationships\, the skills and issues covered in this training can be applied universally to educate\, advocate\, and effectively influence policymaking. \n  \nJoin us for an engaging discussion as we hear from two of our Mentoring Matching Grants recipients as they share their experiences as youth advocates. They will discuss the importance of advocacy for mentoring programs at the state level alongside one of the most influential lobbyists in the state on behalf of the Charles Group Lobbying Firm. \n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:The Mentoring Institute: Navigating Relationship Closure and Transition
DESCRIPTION:Youth mentoring research suggests that failing to provide resolution or a clear closure process at the end of a mentoring relationship can be damaging for mentees who’ve been let down by other relationships with adults. An appropriately timed closure process is key for effectively closing a youth mentoring relationship. Even under non-ideal or unexpected circumstances\, healthy closure provides mentees with an opportunity to reflect on their experience and move forward in their life. Come prepared to learn the philosophy and management of good closure. \n  \nREGISTER
