Re: FAHA: Coach in need of moral support
It can get overwhelming - mentor burnout is a very common problem. The sixth week of build is the hardest, with the pressures and deadlines loaming. Just remind yourself why you are doing this and the difference it makes in your student's lives.
I agree with Gary's advice - get your parents involved. If you use the analogy of a school's sports teams, the coach can't do it all and the parents are usually very active in the non-coaching duties, arranging snacks, travel, etc. Without knowing the specifics, if a parent can come in once a week to give you a break, that would be a big help.
