About the Programme

Aspiring Mentors:
Mental health leaders, of all professions, with a passion for supporting the development of leaders through one-to-one mentoring can apply for a fully funded 1-year mentorship training programme (ILM 3, 5 or 7), with supervision support and a community of practice to support their mentorship journey. 
Aspiring Mentees

Leaders wishing to develop their leadership skills can apply for a 12-18 month mentoring opportunity with an experienced leader. This is available to new leaders, leaders who wish to, or have recently gained a more senior position, leaders who feel ‘stuck’ or wish to develop a particular area of their leadership practice.

Suitability

The scheme is open to all leaders and aspiring leaders working in mental health services within Wales. Mentees will be offered mentoring from an experienced leader who might be from the same, or a different profession to their own. Unless specifically required, it is likely that you would be placed with a mentor from a different organisation from your own to support anonymity and knowledge sharing across organisational boundaries.
