III. Mentoring
Mentoring…
is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring
individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the
competence and character of the mentee. A mentor is an adult who, along with parents,
provides a young person with support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement and constructive
example. Mentors are good listeners, people who care, people who want to help young people
bring out strengths that are already there. A mentor is not a foster parent, therapist, parole
officer, or cool peer.
A Mentor…
Mentor is a teacher, guide, advocate, counsellor, friend, colleague who shares the mission of
molding responsible citizens who can be good human beings and good leaders. It is a social
responsibility to accompany the students closely and help them to grow as mature and happy
persons in the society. Mentoring Program is an off shoot of counseling. The catchword of
Mentoring is ‘CARE”- Caring, Accompanying, Reflecting and Experiencing.
Structure of Mentoring System
It is based on a Psychological Model ‘Multimodal Behaviour Therapy’ of Arnold Lazarus that
focuses on developing BASIC ID.
