Individual Coaching
​
At WonderTree, all supports are individualized. Individual coaching starts with a session to create your coaching plan prior to starting the coaching sessions
​
Creating Your Coaching Plan
In the first meeting, WonderTree Job Coaches work with clients to identify the specific skills they'd like to target. Each coaching partnership is driven by the youths goals! Our coaches can support youth with the entire employment process for preparing to apply for jobs to maintaining a job and thriving in the work force; or specific employment skills, such as interviewing, resume writing, advocacy, etc.
​
In the first session, coaches will review the youths strengths, areas in need of support, and any concerns identified by the youth and the family. They develop an understanding of the youth's current skill set, employment goals of the youth, and create a plan in collaboration with the youth.
​
At WonderTree, we offer a flexible approach depending on the goals and needs of the individual and family. Our Job Coaching is offered in three structures:
​
-
Direct Job Coaching support (unsupervised)
-
Job Coaching support supervised by a social worker
-
Job Coaching support supervised by a psychologist
