Therapeutic Mentoring

One-on-one mentoring is child-focused and family driven. Therapeutic mentors teach, coach and aid children and families to develop specific skills, or to help an individual child with behavioral, emotional or developmental needs.

Therapeutic mentors are professionals, and come from all walks of life including social workers, teachers and police officers. All therapeutic mentors are screened, trained, and have experience in working with children and families.

Each child or teen is assigned a mentor who collaborates with members of the child's family and/or treatment team to work toward mutually agreed upon treatment goals. These goals center around increasing a youth's independence, coping and social skills as well as connecting him or her to additional community resources.

Beech Acres actively recruits a diverse pool of therapeutic mentors from the communities we serve. All mentors are screened, fingerprinted and trained before being matched with a child or family.

This program offers flexibility by providing individualized care which focuses on each child's unique potential. All mentoring services are provided within community settings and during family-convenient time-frames. Funding to cover costs must be secured before services can be rendered.
