Sažetak
This aimed to measure the influence of the Monitored Youth Mentoring Program (MYMP) for adolescents with behavioural problems and behavioural disorders. The Mymp commenced in 1997 and was completed in 2003. The model of the program was for university student of Pedagogy to mentor one pupil between the ages of 13 and 17 years, demonstrating risk seeking behaviours for a whole school year. The specimen group was made up of 141 pupils, aproximately 20 pupils from each year level. The short-term goal was to influence positive change in participants demonstrating risk seeking behaviour. The long-term goal was to enchance the respective school s programs to enable preventive approaches to lessen negative demonstrate statistically significant succes of the applied program in two measured variables. The MYMP positively enhanced formal Pedagogy training, through hands-on pratise that they otherwise would not have received trough their academic programs. They were provided with vital exposure to a preventative program and managed to gain insight into possibilities of introducing early intervention and prevention into Croatian schools.
