WeSpeak MENTORS
WeSpeak mentors receive intensive clinical training and supervision by Dr. Shelley Avny in working with tweens/teens with SM.
The one-to-one mentor model offers trainees a unique experience in providing hands-on, clinical support to these hard-working and resilient kids.
In addition to the didactic and experiential training prior to WeSpeak, mentors receive live coaching and daily group supervision throughout the intensive week.

Mentor Testimonials
"WeSpeak was an incredibly rewarding and beneficial training experience. It was awesome to see the creative strategies you used to organize an interesting and engaging program for the kids, and how you connected and supported each and every one of them. I was blown away by the progress I saw and inspired by how hard these kids were working to challenge themselves and their beliefs."
- WeSpeak Mentor, Psychology graduate student from Oklahoma State University
"Thank you also for such an amazing experience! Definitely one of the best (if not THE best) clinical experiences I've had thus far. So glad I could participate!"
-WeSpeak Mentor, Graduate student from Rutgers GSAAP
...the program you have developed is truly unique and I am so grateful to have learned from you and trained with you in such an intensive setting. I am in awe of the thoughtfulness involved in decisions that are made to promote gains for each teen and it is very clear that this program serves a unique role internationally, serving teens and tweens who otherwise wouldn't get the services they need.
Thank you for letting me be a part of it and have a training experience unlike any other!
