Additionally, sharing allows for added growth as you relate to one another\u2019s journeys and inspire one another with your successes, big and small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
True mentoring allows you to live by example, as well as having the humility to be taught by someone else, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Mental Health Mentorship Empowers Teens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n You do not need to be a formal mentor to share the power of your life with other people. Maybe there is a mental health club in your community or at school or maybe you can mentor a friend or a sibling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mentoring is often as simple as sharing your mental health and wellness with others around you. As a peer, you have powers and the ability to relate that no grownups have. You have power in that you are walking the path and showing the way. Not as a superior, but as a peer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find your inner mentor today. The difference that you make in others\u2019 lives can also help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discover the power of mentoring. What you do to help others may help you even more.
