摘要：Mentoring relationships provide mutual inspiration that enlivens the practice of social work for students as well as mentors. This paper demonstrates the significance of mentoring relationships for student group workers and teachers. Personal narratives of both students and teachers illuminate the need for groupwork mentors in social work education. Identifying as a groupwork mentor aids in the professional’s ongoing reflection of their own practice, refreshing the mentor’s commitment to the advancement of the field and enhancing his/her satisfaction with the work. Schools of Social Work must formalize this relationship by integrating mentoring into the curriculum.
