Montgomery Cares is an affiliate member of the National Cares Mentoring Movement, a multi-city network committed to ensuring that children in our communities have the mentoring, support, and guidance they need to thrive.
In the fall of 2009, we gathered a historic Braintrust of more than 60 physicians, psychologists, wellness experts, scholars, journalists, researchers, faith, educational and business leaders, artists and advocates in New York City to discuss what was needed to support and help heal our most isolated children and the adults who loved them.
Working in small teams for over a year, our 10-pillar blueprint for recovery emerged and became our 148-page guiding manual, A New Way Forward.
The wisdom offered by our Braintrust—for which our cherished friend Harry Belafonte served as the Elder—was used to create our mentor- and facilitator-training protocols, and the distinct curricula we created for each of our programs.
