Counseling & Mentorship

At Second Wind Pathway, we know that true transformation doesn’t happen without healing. That’s why every participant has access to professional counseling and mentorship throughout their journey.

We combine trauma-informed care with relationship-driven coaching to create a safe, supportive environment where young adults feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow.

Trauma-Informed Counseling

Many of our participants come to us carrying emotional wounds—some visible, some not.
Our licensed and credentialed professional counselors are trained in trauma-informed practices and meet each young adult with compassion, patience, and respect.

Counseling services include:

• Individual sessions
• Group support and wellness workshops
• Crisis intervention and emotional regulation tools
• Referrals for extended mental health services if needed

We don’t just treat the symptoms—we help address the root causes of pain, behavior, and disengagement, so participants can begin to heal from the inside out.

Mentorship & Coaching

Alongside clinical care, we match participants with mentors and life coaches who serve as consistent, positive role models. These are people who show up, speak life, and walk alongside our students as they pursue a new path.

Mentorship includes:

• Weekly check-ins and accountability
• Goal-setting support and motivation
• Real talk, encouragement, and emotional support
• Exposure to new possibilities through lived experience

Our mentors include community leaders, educators, professionals, and trained volunteers who reflect the strength, resilience, and success our participants are working toward.

A Relationship That Changes Everything

When a young adult knows someone believes in them—it changes how they see themselves. Our counseling and mentorship programs create safe space, healthy guidance, and hope for the future.
