Mentoring for Organisations
Mentoring services for organisations can encompass both personal and one-on-one or group sessions. Please bear in mind that group sessions might not allow time to give individual attention.
These sessions are designed to build self confidence and empowerment for young people with disabilities.
Here using my first hand experience, while creating a relaxed and informal setting, I can inspire and promote open communication allowing people to talk about issues that might be difficult to address. Often in a school or organised setting young people need that extra boost that will help them develop and reach their full potential.
Also, I also offer advise and guidance in future planning for advanced education and independent living arrangements.
In addition to working with the young people of the organisation, I can advise and offer suggestions and training to be implemented to improve staff support and improve current systems already in place.
Mentoring for Family
I offer a very individualised mentoring service to families who have children or young adults with physical disabilities. Each session is tailor made to suit each person’s individual needs and situation. Some of the guidance I provide will encourage and help build their self-confidence so that they can pursue certain interests and goals.
With ten years experience, I advise on the coordination of such services as, direct payments, care agencies, obtaining funding for communication aids, and various entitlements for home and school.
Also friends and family members might want to discuss issues with someone outside the public sector (e.g. social services or school). I can offer a first hand perspective to families thus offering guidance from a new perspective on situations and issues of concern
Consultancy
Consultancy services are offered to schools and organisations to aid and increase the awareness of the staff, the research and development of specific topics (i.e. communication strategies and independent living tools), and development of strategies to implement the schemes created. Both consultancy and workshops can be combined in an effort to strengthen and encourage excellence in staff relations and productivity with their clients.
This service often offers a unique first hand perspective that is based on my personal experience from years of self management.
