Does my child have to attend the consultation?

The initial consultation is primarily a conversation with the parent or guardian. Your child's involvement can be discussed based on their age and comfort.

Mentoring sessions are one-on-one between the mentor and your child, with parents kept informed of goals and progress. Specific check-in arrangements can be discussed at enrollment.

How do I schedule?

How do cancellations work?

Please reach out as early as possible if you need to reschedule or cancel a session. Current scheduling policies are confirmed at enrollment.

Can I pause services?

If your family needs a break, reach out directly to discuss options.

Is there a long-term contract?

Mentoring is arranged on a weekly basis. Specific terms are confirmed at enrollment.

Is mentoring therapy?

No. Mentoring is not therapy, counseling, or a clinical service. It is supportive, goal-focused guidance from a consistent mentor.

Does mentoring replace school services?

No. Mentoring is a complement to school support, not a replacement for it.

Does mentoring provide legal advice?

No. Destiny Builder's Mentoring Co. does not provide legal, medical, or clinical advice.

What happens if my child is in crisis?

Mentoring is not an emergency or crisis service. If your child is in crisis or immediate danger, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911. For non-emergency support, contact your child's school counselor, pediatrician, or a licensed mental health provider.
