Adrinkahene
Adrinkhene is led by two facilitators and supported by guest leaders and mentors throughout the program. The program is youth-based, and once the intakes are completed, the program is tailored to meet the needs of the youth directly. The program supports young men’s skills training, leadership, identity-building, and mental wellness. The group supports youth develop connections with other group members, teaches skills on emotional wellness, distress and intelligence, discusses pertinent issues that impact youth, and supports/engages youth to discuss healthy relationships and problem-solving skills.
Each youth is interviewed individually prior to the group starting for an intake assessment. This may take 1-3 sessions and is not included in the total group sessions. The youth meets again individually with the facilitator during the group on one occasion and at the termination of the group.
