During the "honeymoon" phase, the mentor should be supportive (by listening and understand-ing), act as an intermediary with other staff members, and be a role model. Sharing feelings and experiences and the mentor's own transition experience are appropriate in the shock and rejection phase. Trying new things and stepping outside the mentee's comfort zone would be appropriate for the mentor to encourage during the recovery phase of reality shock.
