Project Title: CHC Mentoring
Project Description:

By providing prevention education and intervention early on (and onsite in the school), research has shown that fewer children will end up in the juvenile system or in need of other social support services in the long run. CHC Mentoring is tailored to the needs of the individual school’s while also address emerging issues such as vaping, drug and alcohol use and their adverse health effects on students and the community as well as their impact on relationships and potential. CHC Mentoring promotes social emotional learning and life skills coupled with the emotional support/guidance of a trained mentor to work directly with students and school administrators throughout the school year.
Mentors work with students 1 on 1, in small groups or through presentations to work through issues that they may face: peer pressure, issues at home, academic struggles, gender identify, meeting basic needs, loss, depression and anxiety, and other issues. Mentors use an evidence-based curriculum along with a variety of activities such as games, art and music, breathing and yoga, journaling, and storytelling/role play to help students express concerns and problem solve. They also help to identify other resources in the community that can be useful.

Total Project Budget: $432,603
