What happens in the mentorship programme

1. Stage 01

   A first conversation

   We talk about what the young person wants to work on, what’s getting in the way, and whether the programme feels right. Family can be involved if the young person wants that, on their terms.

   Who’s there

   Hans Naicker, the young person, and family if they’d like

2. Stage 02Goals

   Identifying the challenges and barriers

   Rather than open-ended support, we pin down the specific challenges or barriers standing in the way of their goals.

3. Stage 03Plan

   A realistic action plan, built together

   The young person and Hans build a plan they believe in: realistic steps, in the right order, at a pace that works.

4. Stage 04Sessions

   Regular one-to-one sessions

   Regular one-to-one sessions with Hans to work through the plan. To be confirmed

5. Stage 05Review

   Progress reviewed along the way

   We look back at what’s working and adjust the plan as we go.

6. Stage 06

   Finishing well

   We agree what comes next. This is coaching, not therapy or medical treatment. If clinical needs come up, we’ll talk about the right support, including a mental health assessment.
