The Program
The therapeutic mentoring model S2S is structured around calls upon several therapeutic models such as Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT), Positive Psychology, Narrative Therapy, and more. The CBT theory, which the S2S model is primarily based on, supports our belief as an organization that by changing a youth’s mindset from unhealthy TO healthy thinking, their negative behaviors will inevitably change positively as well. CBT is most often used to address symptom management of behavioral/mental health disorders, building communication skills, anger management, coping with grief, and overcoming emotional trauma – amongst other things.

S2S offers and array of resources for parents, grandparents, caregiver, and family members alike. S2S has the bility to provide Parent Coaching services in the form of one-on-one and group setting, The 24/7 S2S resource line is also always a great way for families to get connected to resources, services, and programs offered in their area.
S2S not only provides professional tutoring services to its youth during program hours, but includes support during school hours too! S2S mentors can coordinate with school administrators, counselors, teachers, and/or other support staff to ensure knowledge of our program, our objectives, and our ability to support them if needed. The youth's behavior in the school can influence their incentives and goals in the S2S program. The goal is to see positive changes everywhere!
All S2S Programs are based therapeutically, and are sensitive to behavioral and mental health diagnoses. S2S recognized common adverse behaviors, triggers, responses, and traumas that indicate the need for further support beyond after school. Our staff will connect youth and their families to programs and services that will best serve their individual needs and goals.
