The Bodin Group's mentoring program was just what our son needed to help him make the transition from a wilderness program to life back at home and school.  As parents, we felt that we had pretty good communication going on with our son, but we also understand that teenagers don't talk to their parents about everything.  Our mentor, Austin, was able to quickly connect with our son and become a trusted friend.  He looked forward to spending time working out and surfing with Austin.  It was so nice knowing that our son was spending time with someone who felt like a peer, but was a person that we trusted to counsel and guide him.  Our son's mentor had overcome similar challenges in his own life, and could understand our son's experiences in a way that we just could not.
