Mentoring

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Mentoring is the cornerstone of Mental Health and Aging Research Network. In ARI, we pair an experienced researcher (mentor) with an early-career researcher (mentee). The mentor helps the mentee develop skills and knowledge to promote their professional development and success in the field of aging and mental health.

Mentors and mentees benefit from engaging in these close professional relationships. In fact, our entire field benefits from effective mentoring by improving communication among mentors, mentees, and their respective professional networks.

We have created and collected resources that focus on the career development needs of all members of the Mental Health and Aging Resource Network, including mentors and mentees.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_single_image image=”1630″ img_size=”medium” css_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”dotted” border_width=”2″ accent_color=”#bcd582″][vc_single_image image=”2599″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1695761145791{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}”]

A trusted counselor or guide

Most mentors find the benefits of the relationship outweigh the demands. They report that mentoring enhances their job satisfaction, allows them to share their professional experience, and provides personal satisfaction through supporting someone else.

When you make a commitment to mentor someone, it can be challenging to figure out how to add that commitment to an already demanding schedule. We offer guidance on balancing your work and commitments with your responsibility to your mentee.
