“…Therefore, our study support the beneficial effects not only of establishing an enduring, caring and structured connection between mentors and mentees, but also the potential role of these relationships as tools and context for prevention experiences (e.g., Cavell et al, 2021). Indeed, another possible explanation for the effectiveness of Mentor-UP may be that this structured approach focused on socio-emotional and cognitive development is consistent with traditional interventions that enhance the skills set of children with ADHD, by using modelling, role playing, verbal instruction, behavioral rehearsal, time-out, organization of school materials, coaching and reinforcement in order to facilitate emotional and behavioral self-regulation in clinical settings (Glass et al, 2000;Corrin, 2004;Meinzer et al, 2018). This coherence across treatment and preventive strategies might help in explaining the underlying mechanism leading a positive relationship to result in a modest decrease of hyperactivity and inattention in a non-clinical sample of mentees.…”

Few studies so far have analysed the potential role of mentoring in decreasing hyperactivity and inattention problems. The aim of the current study is to investigate the impact of the Italian Mentor-UP mentoring program on hyperactivity and inattention problems in a non-clinical sample of mentees. “Mentor-UP” is a weekly school- and community-based mentoring program implemented in northern Italy over a period of 8 months. The sample included 468 students, 65 from the experimental group (mentees) and 403 as comparison group. Participants’ age ranged between 8 and 14 years (M = 11.31, SD = 1.40), 46% were females and 20% were non-Italian youths. Students reported their levels of hyperactivity and inattention problems at the beginning and at the end of the program. A significant interaction between time and group revealed a significant effect of the program on hyperactivity and inattention problems (B = −0.10, t (450) = −2.00, p = 0.04), which decreased in mentees (Cohen’s d = −0.21) but not in the comparison group. Results supported the effectiveness of Mentor-UP in decreasing youths’ hyperactivity and inattention. This might be due to the structural characteristics of the mentoring relationships established in the context of Mentor-UP.

This pilot study investigated the effects of psychodrama on the counseling skills (mainly empathy) and on increasing the self-awareness of 23 counseling undergraduate students. Participants attended 12 psychodrama sessions over 3 months. Data were gathered by using the Empathic Tendency Scale and a personal information form. The study used the mixed method research design, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods. The quantitative aspect of the study involved the use of pretest-posttest experimental and control group design with random assignment, while the qualitative aspect utilized the methods of case study, observation, and interview. The quantitative and qualitative results showed that psychodrama increased students' empathy, counseling skills, and self-awareness.
