"Mentor Link has helped me a lot and
many other children in Bewdley. I have a mentor which I go and see every
week in school, I go over have a cup of tea and a good chat! My mentor
has helped me a lot. My life at home wasn’t very stable and I wasn’t
behaving well at school. I was smoking heavily and drinking a lot
too. Not coping very well with everything going on around me. My mentor
helped me change that all around. Having someone to talk to every week
really helps me in fact I can’t think where I would be without it. I
don’t drink much anymore and am currently giving up smoking but none of
that would have happened without my mentor. I usually spend about an
hour with my mentor every week and just talk about everything that’s
happened in that week and my mentor gives me coping strategies and helps
me deal with my problems and advises me what to do. It helps so many
young kids – a lot of them would also be lost without their mentor and
there’s many other children that also could do with someone to talk to
every week."
