How do you celebrate mentoring wins or moments that matter?
“Celebration and recognition are the heart of our mentoring approach. We believe that acknowledging the successes - big and small - is essential in reinforcing the transformative impact of mentorship. At every relationship closure, we take time to connect with both mentors and mentees, gaining insights into their experiences and the unique victories they’ve shared.
Whenever possible, we bring these voices to events and engagement opportunities, allowing them to share their journey with the wider headspace community. These firsthand stories have a profound effect, creating emotional connections and reinforcing the significance of mentorship for everyone involved.
Mentoring is sometimes seen as a “nice to have,” but we firmly believe it is a foundational relationship that fosters resilience and mental well-being in young people. It’s through these personal narratives - filled with growth, breakthroughs, and lasting impact - that we truly recognise mentorship not just as beneficial, but as essential. "
