Present in the Process: Mentoring Through Juvenile Detention
In this episode of The Mentorship Blueprint, we explore what it means to keep showing up, especially when progress is unclear and the path forward feels uncertain. Mark is joined by Theo, a mentor who has walked alongside a young person navigating multiple periods of involvement in the juvenile justice system.
This honest and vulnerable conversation highlights the emotional weight of mentoring a youth impacted by detention. Theo shares how he has stayed present through court hearings, confinement, and moments of deep doubt, even when he wasn’t sure if he was making a difference.
Together, they reflect on what it means to be a steady presence, why the long game of mentorship matters, and how to stay connected even when outcomes are slow or hard to see. This episode is a powerful reminder that showing up again and again might be the most impactful thing a mentor can do.
