Mentoring Minds
Mentoring Minds involves regular goal setting with
a trained mentor. Goal setting helps individuals gain
a true sense of purpose and achievement when they
meet targets set with the support of their volunteers.
People struggling with mental ill health often experience
a lack of motivation, tiredness, and might
also feel overwhelmed.
We need volunteer Mentors!
You can develop your skills and experience whilst supporting people experiencing mental or emotional wellbeing challenges. For many people mentoring can be hugely rewarding as it provides the opportunity to ‘give back’. It can also be a stepping-stone to employment and or professional training.
All we ask for is a commitment of 2 hours per fortnight, for at least 6 months.
