The Therapeutic Mentoring (TM) program is a service provided to youth in their home and in other community settings such as school, after school programs, or other community-based environments. TM services include supporting, coaching, modeling, and teaching age-appropriate behaviors, communication, social, problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills, as well as relating appropriately to other youth and adults. The work of the TM is designed to complement and build upon the work being done with the youth by the hub provider (Individual OP Therapy, In Home Therapy, or Intensive Care Coordination).

The Therapeutic Mentor provides structured, one-to-one, strengths-based, culturally competent support to the youth in order to achieve goals specific to daily living, social, behavioral, and communication needs. The TM engages the youth in the following types of activities while working on skill-building: social activities, recreational activities, athletic activities, artistic or creative activities, educational or vacation activities, and activities of daily living based in the community (i.e., applying for a job, learning to take public transportation, etc). The TM attends all treatment planning/care planning meetings for the youth as well as any other meetings such as school meetings as needed. The TM is an outreach position, providing services in the youth’s home and community. Transporting the youth into the community may also be required.
