THE
MENTOR SERVICE
Although
working with a career
counselor/coach one-on-one
and in person is obviously the best option, it also is the most
expensive. The Family Corner Mentor
Service is a free alternative (or supplement)
that can help you to help yourself and your family at minimal cost (books,
tapes,
etc.) This can be particularly helpful in the case of job
loss,
or when your budget just won't allow for the extra expense of counseling/coaching.
The
Mentor Service works like this:
If you have a
question or a problem you are trying to deal with, send
us an e-mail about it.
We will get back to you in a few days with suggested answers or ways
to address the problem, or perhaps asking for clarification or more
information. In some cases, your e-mail may be paraphrased and
printed in The
Family Forum
(without your name, of course,) along with our suggestions. In many
cases other people will be experiencing similar situations. Your
questions, as well as the responses to them, can be helpful to them
for several reasons. For one thing, they will realize they are not
the only one with that situation. They also get to read our
suggestions and decide what they think and how they might apply the
ideas. Also, others may respond with different ideas that you may
find helpful.
Of course,
your situation may require more than a "one-shot" answer.
In these cases we will try to provide a more extended Mentor Program
by e-mail, and in some cases, by phone. Naturally, the availability
of this type of service will depend on the volume of requests.
The Mentor
Service can be helpful if you:
