How sessions work
Sessions usually run 60 minutes, by video anywhere in the US or in person in Los Angeles.
Clients can meet weekly or several times a week, with text and phone check-ins in between. Clients can switch between video and in person.
To start, complete a short assessment. The team reviews it personally and sets up a free intro call to talk through goals, schedule and fit.
Families
Families often reach out first, and parents stay part of the process.
For high school students, a parent or guardian joins the intro call, helps agree on goals and receives regular updates. For older clients, updates go to family only with the client’s permission.
Parents keep the household expectations and the relationship. The mentor handles weekly planning, reminders and follow-up.
How it connects
Mentoring is not therapy, and it fits alongside other care.
Mentors are not licensed clinicians, and mentoring does not replace medical or mental health treatment. With the client’s consent, mentors coordinate with Blackburn Clinical Services, Blackburn Recovery Services case managers and outside therapists, school counselors or doctors.
