Abstract
Youth Mentoring Relationships: Understanding how to prevent breakdown was produced by a research team from four Perth universities: Dr Judith MacCallum, Murdoch University; Dr Susan Beltman, Curtin University; Dr Anne Coffey, The University of Notre Dame Australia; and Dr Trudi Cooper, Edith Cowan University (with Jayne Jarvis).
This research adds another dimension to the suite of Mentoring Worx resources found at www.dlgc.wa.gov.au/mentoring-worx-resources All these resources and this research report have been produced as part of the Western Australian Youth Mentoring Reform Project with funds provided by the Australian Government under the former National Partnership on Youth Attainment and Transitions. The Youth Mentoring Relationships research project was developed through consultation and collaboration with community agency representatives on the WA Youth Mentoring Reform Group. The participation of program coordinators, mentors and young people, enabled the researchers to gain insights into why some mentoring relationships break down and what strategies can reduce the risk of break down and ensure the development of effective mentoring relationships for young people. Although the small sample size limits the generalisability of findings, this qualitative research builds on the few international studies that have investigated this important but difficult area to research.
