April School Counseling Newsletter
by THE K-12 COUNSELING TEAM | Tuesday, Mar 25, 2025
Mentorship plays a vital role in fostering resilience by encouraging both giving and receiving support. When children learn to seek out mentors, they gain access to valuable knowledge, skills, and perspectives that can help them navigate life’s challenges. Equally important, mentorship teaches them that it’s okay to ask for help when they need it—a key component of building emotional strength and adaptability.
As adults, we can model this behavior by sharing our experiences and encouraging open conversations about learning from others. Whether it’s a teacher, coach, family member, or friend, having trusted mentors helps children feel connected and supported. By fostering a culture of mentorship, we empower the next generation to embrace growth, overcome obstacles, and develop the confidence to reach their goals.
Throughout April, let’s focus on encouraging our children to both seek and offer guidance. Who has made a difference in your life through mentorship? How can you encourage the young people in your life to build these valuable relationships?
