Pals
Pals is a mentoring program in which trained adult volunteers are paired with children who benefit from one-on-one interaction with a caring, dependable adult. Children are referred by school staff or parents. This support helps boost the child's self-esteem and increases his or her chance of success in school.
Pals receive training and supervision from a CARE therapist and meet weekly with their assigned student at D.H. White Elementary or Riverview Middle School. (Pals do not provide counseling.)
8 to 10 students were mentored by a Pal in 2008-2009.
This year MFT intern, Amy Harbaugh provides the training and supervision of Pals.
