Many of us know from experience that a lasting relationship with a trusted and trustworthy adult can make all the difference in a young person's life. This book helpfully reviews the research evidence in order to offer practical advice on establishing effective mentoring schemes. It does not oversell or pretend that mentoring fits all and it does not forget that the mentors need proper support themselves. A good read for both established mentoring schemes and those just starting out.
