The biggest misconception about the facilitator mentoring program is that it is a mentoring program for everything in life, or akin to like a sponsor, a sponsorship program, and while the skills that they can work on with a mentor can be used in other areas, it is really about building skills as a smart recovery facilitator and connecting with resources.
Ever wondered what it takes to run a successful recovery meeting? In this episode of the SMART Recovery® Podcast, Melina Gilbert, the Director of Meetings and Volunteers, shares her unique perspective on the Facilitator Mentoring Program.

Melina also gives us a sneak peek into the future of the program, discussing exciting plans to expand and evolve to better serve volunteers.
