Intensive Adolescent Mentoring Program
Connecting adolescents to resources in their community...

TEEG provides therapeutic mentors who work one-on-one with children and youth in our community who can benefit by having an extra advocate in their corner. We build partnerships to create a team for each child we work with by engaging parents, teachers, school administrators, staff from the Connecticut Department of Children & Families, therapists, Boy Scout leaders, clergy, coaches – anyone and everyone who can provide meaningful guidance.

Adolescents are assigned a mentor who works closely with them in the community.  Mentors collaborate with community providers in an effort to maintain consistent treatment goals in all aspects of the adolescent’s care.  Mentors assist families in identifying community resources that will be available to them after the conclusion of the mentor’s involvement. Mentors provide crisis intervention and support to the parents/guardian or foster parent and guide families in navigating the various systems of care in which the youth is involved.  Additionally, mentors interact with caretakers on developing strategies for balancing nurturance and structure within the home environment.

A Clinical Psychologist and  a LCSW provide clinical supervision on a regular basis to each mentor.
