For you
You don't need an adult in the room for this part.
Everything else on this site is built for whoever's leading you through something — a parent, a teacher, a youth leader. This page isn't. Use it by yourself, send it to a friend, or bring it to whoever's already walking with you. Your call.
Three ways to use this
However you got here, there's a way in
On your own
Nobody has to lead this for it to count. Try the three-minute experience below, or tap what's going on beneath it and read a lesson yourself — no group, no adult, no permission needed.
With a friend
If something here actually lands, send it. Go through it separately and talk after, or sit down together and do it side by side — either way works.
Hand it up
If something here opens up more than a few minutes can hold, that's not a sign to stop — it's a sign to bring in someone who can sit with it longer. Hand this to a parent, teacher, or youth leader; For Mentors tells them exactly how to lead it, no training required.

Begin✦ New · Interactive Exercise
A ten or twenty minute exercise
Put It to Work
Take a real family's story one step at a time. Write what love could actually do, and what is true of the person beyond the situation. Ten or twenty minutes. Nothing you type is saved.
Begin✦ New · Interactive Practice
A guided practice, on your own or with a group
Alongside
Mental health is hard. This is a guided practice for anyone, with human and spiritual actions side by side, drawing on many traditions and on none. Try it on your own, and share it with someone you love. Nothing you type is saved.

The three degrees, as a map of your journey
There Is No Retrograde Step
The road can zigzag, and what has improved does not go backward. Watch a short video, then try four times it felt fixed and then wasn’t. Loving patience with yourself, and a steady direction toward Love. Nothing you type is saved.

How's it going right now?
Tap whatever's true right now — we'll bring you straight to a lesson that fits. No form, no questions, just this.
If it's bigger than a few minutes
Bring it to someone who can sit with it longer
Every lesson on this site was written to be led by a real person — a parent, teacher, or youth leader, no training required. Needing more than this page can hold isn't a step backward. Hand this to whoever's already walking with you, or point them here so they know exactly how.
