“…Attachment theory, so central to understanding IMH theory and practice, reinforces this. However, because fathers-whether present or absent, nurturing or not-are significant to a child's developing sense of self and relational health, and given the importance of healthy relationship development to offset the risks discussed during this conference, IMH professionals must make room for fathers in their work with families, and at the same time, allow stories about their own fathers to come to mind (Furman, Shears, & Badinelli, 2007;Shears, Bubar, & Hall, 2011;Shears & Robinson, 2005;Summers, Boller, Schiffman, & Raikes, 2006).…”

The lack of participant voice in mentoring research suggests that an important source of empirical and interpretive information is unavailable to the field in the process of designing, implementing, and researching mentoring programs. This study used interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) to explore how youth participants in the Friends of the Children (FOTC) mentoring program experience and understand their long-term mentoring relationships. This study used an innovative approach to IPA that combines traditional phenomenological techniques with poetry writing as a key interpretive tool to explore the interplay between the content and meaning of participants' experiences. IPA methods were used to collect and analyze interview data from 12 FOTC participants who had been in the program for more than ten years and who had the same mentor for at least the last four years. Participants were selected purposively to maximize the potential depth and richness of the data. The study included several elements to ensure trustworthiness, including a reflexivity journal, an audit trail, and member checking.
