It ensures safety. Support ensures ongoing advice, problem-solving, training and access to resources for the duration of a mentoring relationship. CLOSURE: Bringing a mentoring relationship to closure is a way that affirms the contributions of both the mentor and the mentee. This is essential to ensuring the relationship ends with positive consequences for the mentee. Both individuals should prepare for a closure and assess their experience with the relationship.
