Provider Spotlight: Being Mentors
All people, regardless of ability, can add significant value to our community. That’s the philosophy of Being Mentors––a mentoring and support service helping participants to increase their skills and better contribute to society.
We caught up with the team to learn more about the services they provide and how they’re boosting success with participants.

What’s the Being Mentors difference?
With a key focus on understanding the events and circumstances that have shaped a person,
we understand the impact of going above and beyond.
We pride ourselves on our Participant Journey––through our intake process and compatibility
assessments, we ensure that participants are introduced to a mentor who has the appropriate skill set, experience, and character to provide the best care. If we cannot guarantee this, we will refer to other trusted providers.
