Teen Mentoring Session
Teen mentoring sessions help with developing their value system. This is protective. The importance of what adults and authority figures are modeling cannot be overstated for teens. A media-saturated environment is often in conflict with the conscious teachings of those attempting to influence youth positively.
“A highly developed values system is like a compass. It serves as a guide to point you in the right direction when you are lost.”

Genuine self-belief, not superficial esteem, helps kids grow into adults who stay true to themselves and find joy in self-acceptance.
Teens need guidance to see through cultural messages which tell them that they need to be or look a certain way to be accepted. Media plays a huge role in fostering insecurities. To combat these influences, we must teach girls and boys how to stay connected to a higher truth within themselves.
Teen Mentoring Sessions Help:
- Increase self-awareness to discover true feelings about self, others, situations, and ‘the world.’
- Develop assertiveness skills by becoming in tune with your inner compass and practicing boundary setting
- Provide opportunities to feel self-efficacy and personal power
- Establish a trusting connection that offers validation of feelings and experiences
A strong sense of self-efficacy fosters feelings of being able to deal with challenges. By providing experiences for self-mastery, we help to develop inner resilience. In turn, we promote positive expectations around performance and success regardless of setbacks or challenges.

As teens become more aware of their inner life and personal values, they are more likely to be guided from within and empowered to forge their own path.
