Book Synopsis Mentoring Young People Leaving Care by : Jasmine Clayden
Download or read book Mentoring Young People Leaving Care written by Jasmine Clayden and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report explores longer term mentoring for young people leaving care. More specifically, it describes young people's experiences of mentoring relationships and their outcomes, that lasted between six months and three years, or had ended, between two and four years earlier. Whilst some mentoring relationships were more successful than others, the authors found that where they worked, they were greatly valued by the young people and appeared to offer useful practical or emotional support. In particular, mentoring was a type of support that was clearly differentiated from professional support. Mentoring and young people leaving care makes a substantial contribution to identifying the impact of mentoring on the long-term outcomes for care leavers. It outlines the methods that work in mentoring, explaining why they work, and will be of value to those involved in the design and development of new and existing mentoring projects.

Book Synopsis Finding the Formula for Success by : Rachael Zuckerman
Download or read book Finding the Formula for Success written by Rachael Zuckerman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth and children in foster care are one of the most vulnerable populations and face many challenges throughout their lives. A mentor can make a dramatic difference for a child in the foster care system and be a constant for a child who has to experience a great deal of change. Mentoring can help to improve a child's self-esteem and motivation to become more confident in school, relationships, and in many other areas of their lives. There are a limited amount of studies that examine the effects of mentoring foster children and youth. A possible reason for this is all of the permission that needs to be given to researchers in order to collect data on children in social services custody and although it is challenging to obtain the permission it is important to compile more data and do more research on how to help this vulnerable population get the most out of mentoring programs. It is important that mentoring programs require training for their mentors on how to best interact with their mentees. Duration and consistency of formal mentoring programs is an important factor in creating a beneficial and worthwhile program. Having a mentoring program also providing skills groups can further enrich the experiences of children and youth in foster care. This thesis will explore the types of mentoring for children and to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to successful mentorships specifically for children in foster care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this project is to create a mentoring program for young people ages 18 to 24 who have been or are in foster care and need to transition to safe, productive community living. The aim is to meet their educational and employment goals commensurate with their interests and abilities. These young people, who are in the process of graduating from high school or are newly graduated, need considerable support. They are impacted by their time in the child welfare system in a number of areas, including unresolved trauma and mental health risks. This program will address these issues through internships at businesses where they can have a trained, designated mentor. The job experience and mentoring are designed to teach skills and education needed to identify and sustain employment best for them. This program also will use the youth’s motivation to connect them with educational and work situations to help achieve their goals. It emphasizes young people as their own decision-makers to make positive decisions regarding their future. Using the youth skills, strengths and interests and combining this with mentorships and internships can provide essential autonomy to make their own decisions. This program also intends to be responsive to the dynamics of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression, culture, ethnicity, race, and social and economic status. This project includes a literature review, host agency description, and staffing. A potential funder and narrative and line item budget are provided. The emphasis is to bring together a supportive network of people significant to the success of these young people, including resource or foster parents, child welfare social workers, birth families and community mentors. Recommendations for policy, practice, and advocacy are included. The actual submission and/or funding for this project was not required for successful project completion.
