Mentoring Program

The Teen

We understand the influence our society wields and the peer pressure that teens face. We also know there are limited resources currently available for parents and teens to use when facing these pressures.

Testimony realizes that many times parents, therapists, and teachers have limited impact on hard to reach kids.  We have created a Mentoring Program with young adults and leaders who can build a relationship to help influence teens in a more positive way.

Our Mentors are trained leaders who will spend time with the teen, building a relationship while working through problems. Much like a “big brother/big sister,” the relationship built will be loving, supportive, and validating; a “safe haven” to talk about problems and get help from a safe, non-threatening source.  Through weekly meetings and daily contact the Mentor and teen will establish consistent expectations for future behavior and goals.

Issues Addressed

The Parent

Resources for adolescents and teens facing life struggles and conflicts are inadequate and largely ineffectual.  Unfortunately, there is even less available in the way of support and education for parents. Despite the fact that parents were once teens themselves, the ability to relate and understand their children can be deeply buried beneath adult issues. Testimony Life offers support and solutions for parents in order to prevent the pitfalls that many parents face.

Education and support are two of Testimony’s most valuable tools when helping parents learn to better understand and communicate with their teen children.

The Family

A family is a team composed of members who each have a role.  Sometimes the members serve to strengthen the team as a whole, sometimes one member can unbalance the strength, weakening the unit. Testimony understands the delicate basis which forms the structure of a family: peace, stability, structure, communication, respect, and understanding.  Testimony addresses the unique dynamic of Unconventional families, Blended families and reinforces bonding through understanding, guidance, reattachment, and connections.
