Overall, the benefits of mentoring are the underpinning development of self-confidence, a sense of self-worth, and improvement of communication and life skills. One goal our organization will be working towards is working with schools so there is more mental health awareness for the students and teachers with the hope of decreasing the stigmas of mental health.This change is important because good mental health is the foundation of youths' intellectual and emotional growth.
