Finding Peace in a Frantic House: A UNACOV Well-Being Fireside Chat
Free preview
As 2020 comes close to a wrap, we looked back at how the COVID-19 situation has created a disruption in lives everywhere that we have never experienced before. “New norms” came one after another. When work-from-home measures first started, many wanted to go back to the workplace. Months later, 8 out of 10 then wished to stay at home (Straits Times, 11 Oct 2020) even as workplaces are reopening. School holidays descended upon us again and this not-so-new norm of having almost every family member in the house all day long will be here to stay.

While our family members may be our closest and dearest, the last few months have been trying times for most families. Many have felt either:

“I do not have space for myself”
or
“Everyone is getting in my way”
or
“Responsibilities seem endless.”


Personality differences, children’s misdemeanour, parental restrictions - everything got magnified. Our home, which we should be our Home Sweet Home, became at times a

Learning Circle - It Takes a Village
“It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that is very applicable to mentoring.

Our “village” has never been more necessary than it is today. We live in a fast-paced, instant information, and pressure-packed world.
Mentees also go through different stages in life, play multiple roles, that require different types of mentors, and at times more than one mentor for different parts of their life. Different mentors, with their own unique set of skills and mentoring expertise, can work with mentees to give them a well-rounded and multi-faceted mentoring environment.

This discussion is about collaboration and partnerships you need to build as a mentor with your peers to support your mentee in the best way possible.
