A volunteer mentor (support person) helps a child cope independently in situations where they need guidance, encouragement and motivation.

The child of 7-18 years of age is entitled to service. The child involved in service lives at home and meets support person outside home. The support person can use telecommunication means for communicating with the child. The support person cooperates with the legal representative or caregiver of the child and fosters good relations between them.The support person works with the child on workdays daily or in the evening. The provision of the service on weekends and public holidays is decided upon by the service provider.The service is appointed by the child protection specialist of the social welfare department of the residence of the child.
