Therapeutic Mentor

Therapeutic Mentor Therapeutic Mentoring (TM) offers structured,

one-to-one, strength-based support services between a therapeutic mentor

and a youth for the purpose of addressing daily living, social, and

communication needs. The mentor works with a clinical therapist to

explore a youth?s interests and abilities and creates activities that

build various life skills and result in linkages to community

activities. Therapeutic Mentoring services are in person and typically

provided to youth in any setting where the youth reside, such as the

home (including foster homes and therapeutic foster homes). We encourage

individuals who believe they have the skills necessary to thrive to

apply for this role even if they don't meet 100% of the job

requirements. About us: Community Services Institute (CSI) was one of

the first outpatient community mental health clinics to offer home-based

therapy to families facing barriers to mental health care. Through our

Children?s Behavorial Health Initiative (CBHI)- Therapeutic Mentoring

(TM) program we offer community-based interventions that support youth

under 21 years old and actively engaged in therapy. Therapeutic Mentor
