At C.C. We Adapt, the transformative power of mentorship begins at the individual level. Through a trauma-informed lens and a person-centered, strengths-based approach, we tailor our services to meet the unique needs of each participant. Our goal is to equip youth with the tools and strategies they need to build resilience, develop essential life skills, and achieve their goals.
Research shows that peer support increases empowerment, hope, social functioning, community engagement, and overall quality of life and satisfaction (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2017).
Mentorship
Our approach combines physical movement, creative expression, and experiential learning, emphasizing fun, practical, and hands-on activities. These experiences help participants build strong interpersonal connections, enhance self-efficacy, and develop daily living skills, all while fostering emotional growth and personal development.
A key part of our work is the lived experience many of our mentors bring to the table. Having faced similar challenges, our mentors meet participants wherever they are in life and offer authentic guidance toward self-determination and fulfillment. With person-centered care at the core of our work, we advocate for and collaborate with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, helping them chart their own unique paths to success.
Youth Mentoring Services
At We Adapt, our youth mentoring services are designed with the same dedication and structure as our Medicaid-supported programs, emphasizing evidence-based practices, a strong support team, and a collaborative partnership with families. We offer two primary mentoring pathways: Development Mentorship and Leadership Mentorship, each tailored to meet youth at different stages of their personal and leadership journeys.
