Distinguished Visitor: Professor Zimmerman, Mentoring At Risk Youth

Mentoring AT Risk Youth - A model to address problems in mentoring practice and literature

Professor Zimmerman has achieved international recognition for leading work that arranges for undergraduate students to be put in touch with at risk youth, to recognise issues such as different ethnicities and mental health symptoms and to offer constructive and tested pathways forward. Her work in youth mentoring, using evidence based approaches addresses many gaps in the mentoring literature including community support, diversity training, and mental health concerns with at-risk youth.
