Mentoring
The Mentoring Approach: Support Work and So Much More!
At Facilitatrix we believe that Mentoring should focus on the development of sustainable skills that will empower individuals to become more independent and improve their quality of life.
Our Mentors are more than support workers, they connect and offer a personal approach that encourages and supports individuals to achieve goals specific to them and to develop skills that they can use to manage everyday life and to connect with activities that they enjoy. Our Mentors will help you explore whats important to you and will walk alongside and work at pace of the individual’s choosing so they can get to where they want to be in life.
We recognise that everyone is different and we will match the individual with a Mentor based on shared interests and general compatibility. We also happily involve individuals in the process of recruiting their Mentor if they wish.
Community Access
Feeling connected to our communities promotes a greater sense of acceptance and belonging that makes us feel good about ourselves and the life that we have.
We have a diverse team of support workers who can support individuals to pursue community -based activities of their choice, whether that be recreational, educational or employment and encourage and support individuals to explore other opportunities that are available in their community.

Assistance with Lifestyle Decision-making/daily Planning
Facilitatrix is committed to supporting people to exercise their human rights including the right to have control over their own lives.
We recognize that life can be challenging at times and it can be difficult to know what to do in some situations. In fact, most people need some help in making decisions at some point in their lives.
Using a supported decision- making approach our Mentors can work with individuals to build their decision- making capabilities so that they can become more skilled and independent in making informed decisions about matters that affect them.
If a Guardian is involved, our Mentors can support the individual to work with them and to become more involved in the decision-making process.
