Mentor

Mentor works with families, communities and professionals to help young people thrive free from the harms of alcohol and drugs. Our vision is a world that gives more opportunities for the healthy development of children and young people.

We support families across the UK because we believe every child has the right to learn the vital life skills to keep them safe

Kinship care

Kinship care
In the UK there may be as many as 300,000 children being brought up by a family member or friend. These ‘kinship carers’ take on the responsibilities of caring for a child without the same support networks and services as parents or foster families, often during a time of trauma or upheaval.

Empowering families

Empowering families

Many kinship carers give up work to care for their loved one. 7 in 10 feel stressed, depressed or isolated while facing emotional and behavioural difficulties. Mentor helps build positive support networks to empower these families, through after school clubs and carers’ groups giving information, advice and peer support.

Support a child, help them thrive

Support a child, help them thrive

One of the hardest things a child can face is the breakdown of their family due to death, alcohol or drug misuse, mental ill health or other difficulties. With your help, we can give the specialist support to children in kinship care who have suffered loss and trauma.
