LINKUp for longer term mentoring.

[Rob]

Hi everyone,

LINKUp is a new support service that's part of HelpLINK and aims to provider longer term mentoring by matching individuals with a Mentor who they can work with over a period of time for support through an issue. This may be a good option if you want support on an ongoing basis rather than a one off request for advice.

LINKUp can be arranged via any suitable method of communication, such as arranging calls via Live Help, using Discord, through PM or over email. Each person will be matched with a Mentor based on the areas they need support on, so both know that they feel confident in these subjects before starting a mentoring relationship. They will agree jointly how and when they will communicate and how long they want the mentoring to last for.

While we will endeavour to match everybody to a suitable Mentor, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to find you a match and will be honest with you if we can't.

We have a list of Mentors ready to go and waiting for people to be matched to them, so please sign up now!

If you are interested in being matched to a Mentor, head to HelpLINK and choose the LINKUp section on the form and you will be contacted back once a Mentor has been found for you to start things off!
