Question 2 of 12

2. Question
Mentee, 15: “I’m done with this app! I gave it a try but nothing’s changed. I don’t wanna waste my time on this anymore.”

What would be the most helpful response to this mentee statement?
- I understand you’re frustrated because you put in the time and effort to use the app but you’re not seeing results. If you want, we can try to understand together why it hasn’t helped. I think if we find the reason, we can try to make it less frustrating and more productive.
- Oh I feel you, that sucks. Do you wanna take a little break from the app for a few weeks?
- First, I want to commend you for the really wonderful effort you’ve demonstrated in working with the app so far. I understand it can be frustrating if you’re not seeing results in your everyday life and interactions. But, as your mentor I believe you should show a bit of faith and keep practicing with the app for a bit longer. You see, changes in behavior can take a while to manifest, and you don’t want to compromise all you gained till now.
- Come on, it can’t be that bad. I think you should give it a try for another month. What’s the worst that can happen? It only takes a few minutes, what have you got to lose?

Question 8 of 12

8. Question
A key element in supportive accountability is focusing on process and not on results, because:
- As a mentor who is not a mental health professional my skill set is limited.
- Focusing on process holds my mentee accountable to putting in an effort which is something they control, as opposed to results which are not guaranteed.
- Focusing on process means creating an ongoing relationship with my mentee and their family, as opposed to short-term results oriented relationship.
- Process is about how I work together with my mentee.

Question 11 of 12

11. Question
Mentee, 10: “I like the games on this app, but some days I feel like playing my other games. Why do I have to play this all the time?”

What would be the most helpful response to this mentee statement?
- It’s alright if you don’t want to play on this app every day. Just try to use it at least once a week.
- It’s up to you how much you want to play this app. I understand it can become boring after a while! But I think this app is really helpful for you so it’s more than just a game.
- Do you remember when we talked about how sometimes you have worrying thoughts and it’s hard for you to control them? The games in this app are actually helping you with that, so that’s why it’s important that you play with it, but it doesn’t have to be every day.
- As you know, you have something called anxiety, where you have all these worrying thoughts and you can’t get them under control. This app is actually a learning tool to teach you strategies for handling your anxiety. This is why it’s important that you use it consistently, until you master the strategies and can implement them in your everyday life.
