by Brooke Rundle

The Umbrella Collective is thrilled to announce that we are now offering Self-Care/Home Management Training, aka Mentorship. Our LGBTQ+ affirming mentorship program is designed to provide guidance and support in a wide variety of activities of daily living (ADL’s). Whether you are struggling to manage your busy schedule, complete a specific task that feels overwhelming, or just don’t even know how to start the process, your mentor will come along side you to provide customized and confidential one-on-one support. 

The mentorship program is available to all current Umbrella Collective clients. The program is not intended to replace your regular therapy sessions, instead it is designed to complement counseling by providing additional support to help you achieve your personal and therapeutic goals. Activities of daily living that our mentorship program can help with include:

  • Strategies for organization and executive functioning,

  • Applications for housing, school, or employment,

  • Setting up a safe home environment,

  • Resume writing,

  • Medical care coordination,

  • Changes to legal name and gender marker,

  • Nature walks to get your body moving,
