| Wellness Pathways: Keep Matches Thriving Speaker Description Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles (BBBSLA) Wellness Pathways program keeps children safe, supports a healthy, thriving match relationship and ensures that Bigs and Littles have the resources needed as Littles grow and pass through each stage of development. Too often, lack of support and resources leads to early match closures. This workshop will share the experiences and lessons learned from BBBSLA's implementation of Wellness Pathways, a holistic mentoring approach that has demonstrated positive impact on the way children, adolescents and their families receive needed services, strengthen the relationship with their mentor, and ultimately focus on learning, life skills and college preparation. |
