Raise Youth Mentoring - Consent Form

Dear Parent / Carer,

We’re inviting your child to participate in the Raise Group Mentoring program being run at your student’s school, within school hours.

You should have received some information about the Raise program from your school.

The program uses a group mentoring model, where students participate in 10 weekly workshops with a select group of students. These sessions are facilitated by our qualified Program Counsellors who may be supported by a small group of Raise volunteer mentors. Raise mentors are comprehensively trained and screened prior to volunteering in the program and all have a current working with Children Check for the relevant state or territory.

The Raise Group Mentoring program has been designed to build help seeking, resilience, hope and school engagement skills for the young people participating. Your student has been chosen for this program by the school in order to provide additional support to your child in one or more of these areas.

Participation in this program includes participating in evaluation data collection activities, including, but not limited to surveys (via online survey tool) and may include a focus group at the school. The results of the program evaluation are used to help improve the program for the following year and measure its impact. You can find examples of questions here.

Raise may use the details provided in the surveys or focus groups in communications about program experience. Where this occurs, any identifying details will always be removed to protect the privacy of students and ensure an individual student's experiences cannot be recognized. Or attributed to them.

To allow your child to participate in the program, please complete the consent form via the link sent to you by your child’s school.

Participation is not permitted without a consent form and places are limited.
