Human service professionals are often faced with complex decisions that can profoundly affect their clients’ lives. Learning from the experience of mentors is an invaluable way for students and practitioners to equip themselves with the tools to make the best possible decisions under challenging circumstances. Featuring case studies shared by front line workers, The Mentors Among Us takes an innovative choose-your-own-path approach: each mentor’s story presents a challenging scenario with two possible solutions. Readers have the opportunity to engage in the decision-making process by picking a path and turning to the corresponding page to find out how their chosen action plays out. Each option is accompanied by relevant concepts and discussions that will help students to think critically about issues such as ethics, poverty, parental rights, child welfare, trauma, self-care, education, and mental health. Highly accessible, this interactive book is well suited for students in the human services, including child and youth care, social service work, and early learning and child care. The real-life stories from mentors in the field will prepare aspiring human service workers with best practices and guide them to think like professionals.

Speak up! (see 1 Peter 3:15-16; Colossians 3:16; Proverbs 31:89; 2 Timothy 3:16.) I am stepping up and speaking out to increase self-awareness and understanding for single men and women, divorcees, and widowers on the subject of romantic relationships. Romantic relationships are an exciting part of life. Problems are inevitable. Relationships are hard to develop and even harder to maintain. To have a relationship, certain things must be present (see John 14:79). The goal in writing this book is to help adult singles understand and become more aware that: The single life is a good life, but its not always an easy life. Of the 100 million adult singles living in the United States, approximately 40 percent are unweddable. Meaning in their present state, they are unable, unwilling, unprepared, uninformed, or unrealistic when it comes to maintaining a romantic relationship. Romantic relationships pass through twelve steps. Only 5 percent of adult singles make it through all the steps. Romantic relationships are not for every adult single at every point in their life. These observations lead to the question: Why? The answers are within this book.

Mentoring is the most cost-efficient and sustainable method of fostering and developing talent within your organization. It can be used to stretch talented individuals, power diversity programmes and ensure that knowledge and experience is successfully handed down. As such, the benefits of a mentoring programme are numerous: the mentee receives a helping hand to identify and achieve goals, and the mentor gets the satisfaction of helping others to develop. Organizations offering mentorship gain from improved employee performance and talent retention. Everyone Needs a Mentor explains what mentoring is, what various models there are and how these differ from coaching. It shows you how to make a business case for mentoring and then how to set up, run and maintain your own programme. This fully revised 5th edition of Everyone Needs a Mentor has been revised and updated to include a wealth of international case studies alongside developments in the field such as multinational mentoring, maternity mentoring and the impact of social media on mentoring.

In The Lived Experience of African American Women Mentors: Community Pedagogues, Wyletta Gamble-Lomax explores the lived experiences of six African American female mentors working with African American female youth. The works of philosophers Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Edward Casey are intertwined with the writings of Black feminist scholars such as Patricia Hill Collins and Audre Lorde, while Max van Manen guides the phenomenological process with pedagogical insights and reminders. Through individual conversations with each muse, the power in care and the importance of listening in mentoring relationships is uncovered as essential components. The significance of place, the complexities of Black femininity, and the benefits of genuine dialogue are all explored in ways that bring new understanding to African American female experiences and how they connect to today’s educational climate. This study concludes with phenomenological recommendations for educational stakeholders to pursue partnerships with school, family and community.

Many colleges and universities informally highlight the value of mentoring among academic professionals. Yet scholars often lack clear definitions, goals, practices, and commitments that help them actually reap the benefits mentoring offers. As new faculty members from younger generations continue to face evolving challenges while also reshaping institutions, their ability to connect with more experienced mentors is critical to their vocations—and to the future of higher education. In Cultivating Mentors, a distinguished group of contributors explores the practice of mentoring in Christian higher education. Drawing on traditional theological understandings of the mentee-mentor relationship, they consider what goals should define such relationships and what practices make their cultivation possible among educators. With special attention to generational dynamics, they discuss how mentoring can help institutions navigate generational faculty transitions and cultivate rising leaders. Contributors include: David Kinnaman Tim Clydesdale Margaret Diddams Edgardo Colón-Emeric Rebecca C. Hong Tim Elmore Beck A. Taylor Stacy A. Hammons This book offers valuable insights and practical recommendations for faculty members, administrators, and policy makers. Whether pursuing their vocation in Christian or secular institutions, Christian scholars will benefit from the sharing of wisdom mapped out in Cultivating Mentors.

Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.
