HOUSE MENTORS JOB DESCRIPTION (ROLES AND DUTIES) 

The House Mentors set the tone in the Safe House for girls that are coming with high Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Even though there is a change of shift during the week – the Mentors are the “foundation” of the Safe House. It is extremely important for the Mentors to show a heart of unconditional love and showing a lot of grace for girls that have not been taught how to manage their feelings and emotions. The level of stress that these young girls have been through is said to be equal to “Victims of War”. That is the reason for instituting the rehabilitation program as the “Path2Freedom Non-Punitive System Model,” which is not without consequences but is without punishment. The girls are brainwashed by the “Trauma Bonding of the Trafficker/s.” This Magnolia Model is a “Transforming Model” for highly-stressed children and “Our goal is to teach the girls God’s family structure” To love, respect and honor each other. House Mentors will be the role model. This is a victim service model developed for “highest and best response toward PTSD child victims.” We use the failures as “teachable moments and behavior modification techniques.” As the girl begin to take root and feel safe in the Safe House and begin to develop attachments toward the staff and others, we gradually give them more responsibilities. On the job training is the best training tool where real life situations present themselves each day. Even though the Mentors/staff is given advanced training, the best learning comes while on duty and consulting with the Executive Director, Staff and the Team for solutions, rather than a quick response/solution. Path2Freedom does not want to “contain the girls” but rather, “renew the heart of the girls through unconditional love and role modeling.” Upon leaving the program, they truly understand how to move forward and control their emotions and this enables them to live a normal life.
