Mentor Training – Free at LASS

Posted on June 27, 2011 by | Comments Off

‘Mentoring’ is a one-to-one, non-judgemental relationship where a person voluntarily gives time on a regular basis to support, encourage and enable a person affected by HIV to live better with HIV and to achieve their desired aims, goals, needs and potential so they can integrate, participate and function more effectively, independently and positively within society.

LASS are offering Free Mentoring Training to any volunteer who expresses an interest and wishes to use their newly learned skills with our team.

Mentoring is a powerful personal development and empowerment tool. It is an effective way of helping people to progress and is becoming increasing popular as its potential is realised. It is a partnership between two people (mentor and mentee) normally working in a similar field or sharing similar experiences. It is a helpful relationship based upon mutual trust and respect.

The training is comprehensive, (here’s the session plan) and you will need to be available for each of the four Monday’s (10:00 til 13:00) which are scheduled, they are:

  • 22nd August
  • 29th August
  • 5th September
  • 12th September

For further information and register your interest, please contact Michael or speak with reception, on 0116 2559995
