At Day Seven Ministries, mentoring is used as a complement to the counseling process. In a mentoring relationship, an individual is matched with someone who has experienced similar struggles but is farther along on the journey. The main purpose of mentoring is to provide support, encouragement, and accountability for a person who is experiencing a difficult time in his or her life.

Mentoring involves:

• Intentional, goal-oriented relationships
• Customized meeting locations and times
• A focus on three specific areas:

1. Accountability for behavioral issues
2. Developing relationship and communication skills
3. Spiritual grounding and growth
Mentor matches are available for both men and women. Mentors are screened for qualities such as stability, maturity, and a vital relationship with the Lord. Mentors are accountable to the Mentor Program Director, and regularly participate in one-on-one and group training sessions.
