Launched in 2017 , Mr . and Ms . Mentoring is a research-based intervention program that provides mental health support to primarily low-income children , ages 8 to 17 . Our program inspires and equips youth who are experiencing behavioral or cognitive issues such as trauma , ADHD , anxiety , depression and / or poor social skills in home and school settings . Youth develop skills to conquer past trauma , fears and negative feelings . In addition to one-on-one and group counseling , Mr . and Ms . Mentoring provides a stable , supportive environment and positive support systems that help youth develop coping skills through creative outlets such as health and wellness activities , arts and crafts for creativity , musical expressions and activities that challenge and allow the kids to work together and develop better social skills . Mr . and Ms . Mentoring also works to actively engage the community in supporting youth and provides resources to improve parent-child communication and strengthen families , with a focus on helping single-parent families and families who are fostering youth .
Since our founding , our organization has served over 150 atrisk youth in the Volusia County area . Yearly we serve 25-75 kids , some continuing on with the program as needed .
Mr . and Ms . Mentoring ’ s mission is fueled by community support . We are grateful for the involvement of the following local businesses : Stress and Anxiety Center , CareerSource , Skyzone Trampoline Park , Halifax Health , Rue and Ziffra , Community Outreach Program and Successful Employment .
