Our youth mentoring services are tailored to meet the needs of your family. We provide outreach support to young people who are looking for individual mentoring support. Led by our Mentoring Leader Trevor, the team will provide guidance to young people in a trauma informed, culturally safe and therapeutically informed service. When needed our mentoring team will work collaboratively with our counsellors to add additional mental health interventions.
