How Leaf’s College Campus Mentoring Works

Leaf Mentoring provides a comprehensive system that trains your staff and established, thriving students, to provide supportive one on one relationships with those in your student body who experience a variety of challenges. These program components create self-sustaining mentoring programs that are economical, effective and independent, bypassing a need for ongoing consulting fees. Below are listed the specific elements of the program.

Ongoing Supervision

To ensure that your mentoring initiative is successful and sustainable, Leaf Mentoring provides two years of supervision after the initial visit. This ongoing support, supervision and guidance is one of the many factors that sets Dr. Kranzler’s interventions apart and ensures the success and growth of the mentoring program and its impact on the students.
