About
This course will broaden your knowledge and awareness of mental health and social issues so you can better understand the key issues facing marginalised individuals in your church and community. Drawing upon effective mentoring and coaching techniques, this course will equip you with the practical tools you need to be able to strengthen discipleship relationships and cultivate effective and trusting connections with your mentees - ultimately improving the longer-term opportunities for marginalised people. Mentoring is needed now more than ever. In this time where poverty and mental health has surged, at-risk individuals suffer from a lack of emotional and relational support. This leaves them even more vulnerable to adverse issues including abuse, addiction, homelessness and exploitation. Mentors can play a valuable role in the lives of vulnerable individuals and those seeking positive personal growth. This mentor training course will support you to create safe and trusting relationships based on our hope in the Gospel: to become a positive support and role model for mentees, empowering them to realise and achieve their potential, so they can go on to bring about change in their lives and others.
