I greatly appreciated that Ed saw the tremendous value that mentoring can add to efforts to reduce recidivism. He felt that meaningful relationships were a real missing ingredient in justice work, especially for youth in the system. Condolences to Ed's family on their loss.

[Michael Garringer @MENTORMikeG]

Very sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Edward Latessa, the renowned criminologist at the U of Cincinnati. Ed was the very first guest I recorded for my podcast many years ago. Had a wonderful chat about the intersection of mentoring and the justice system. https://t.co/vOm5czzrF1

@BdetteSanchez @AmyJAnd @TWeiston I love this paper and these 4 core training topics. Not only do we need implementation materials widely distributed on these, but also research that helps mentors improve this work over time. Thank you all for this critically important work!

[Michael Garringer @MENTORMikeG]

@MENTORnational So happy this is finally out in the world! A HUGE thanks to everyone who contributed to this and shared their ideas and vision for stronger, more meaningful, and more equitable mentoring research in the years ahead. Feel free to reach out with your thoughts and questions!
