Psychological Mentors

Our psychological mentors have a rich knowledge of the human mind, and how to heal, change, and thrive. Reading For Love programs build off of the idea that reading and writing stories from the heart can greatly improve anyone’s life; our mentors thus provide insight into the potential for education as a self-care project.
