Abstract
In many fields, the topic of mentorship is one of importance. In the counseling profession, mentorship is imperative for helping peers in the areas of research, teaching, service, career, and social aspects. We studied 20 individuals in the field who have won mentorship awards, comparing their experiences and expertise with guidelines for mentorship from a national organization, and counseling researchers. The results can help anyone interested in mentorship improve current practice and see what literature has left out!
