What is Specialist Mentoring & Coaching
Over time, a supportive and respectful relationship of trust is developed allowing the person to explore issues affecting them and to work on overcoming those barriers.
The Mental Health Mentor supports the staff member with problem-solving, decision-making and testing out new strategies for coping.
Mentoring can highlight destructive work patterns, blind spots and difficulties that the individual is experiencing in relation to others, or their work, and helps address these issues.
What Do Sessions Involve?
Sessions are designed to be adaptable to each individual, to provide consistent, ongoing support with practical strategies. Sessions are with an experienced and accredited mental health professional. Sessions are usually weekly for 30-60 minutes and be can be in-person or remote (online).
Mental Health Mentoring sessions offer opportunities for reflection and constructive feedback to enhance personal development. This not only benefits the individual but also the work they undertake and the relationships they have with colleagues and management.
Sessions can be offered as a one off, but are usually most effective where several sessions are scheduled over a set amount of time. This enables the Mental Health Mentoring to become embedded into every day working practice.
