An innovative approach to professional learning grounded in Jean Watson’s Human Caring Theory and the Caritas Processes®. This model shifts mentoring toward a holistic partnership that nurtures growth, resilience, and meaning for both mentor and mentee.

Caritas-based mentoring emphasizes authentic presence, reflective dialogue, and intentional practices that cultivate loving-kindness, compassion, belonging, and inner growth. Through teachable strategies—such as centering pauses, compassionate listening, values clarification, and nature-based reflective exercises—mentors learn to co-create environments where they feel seen, supported, and empowered.
