Circles of Trust

Students identify the people in their lives who are in their “circles of trust” which include inner and outer circles. The group discusses reasons that people move in and out of different circles, and how trust is built and broken.

The Heart

The Heart is an activity designed to help students understand the consequences of assumptions. Each student is asked to think about assumptions that are made about different identities (i.e. woman: cute, emotional, etc.). After writing these assumptions on post-its and putting them up on signs with the identities written on them, students are asked to think about the characteristics of a new born baby. How do the assumptions cover up all of the good qualities that each of us starts out with?

Confidentiality: The Essential Building Block to a Trusting Relationship

To help students understand the importance of confidentiality, they are given a scenario about a young woman who confides in her friend that she is pregnant. The friend breaks confidentiality which causes serious problems for the young woman. This activity is designed to help students understand the concept of confidentiality and when it is appropriate to maintain or break it.

Dream Drawing

Dream Drawing is an activity designed to help students visualize their ideal mentoring relationship. Students visualize the best possible and worst possible mentoring relationships they can imagine and then draw the scenarios. The group then discusses ways to avoid the “nightmare” scenarios and how to make the “dreams” a reality.
