This book examines the concept and practice of mentoring as well as the wider scope and
diversity of the mentoring that people can experience in their own life time. With each chapter
dedicated to a specific level of mentoring the book makes clear the impact and value of
mentoring not only for the participants themselves but also on the situations in which
mentoring occurs and the reverberations positive and negative on others outside this
relationship. It shows the importance of relationships for people individually and
collectively and clarifies how relationships form the DNA for an inspiring creative and
professional life for the person and the community in which they engage. The book is about how
support and skills can be transferred through mentoring to rebuild resilience through positive
relationships and community reconstructing them as we go.
