Guiding Lights: Inside MPN's Mentoring Program with Bill and Zac

Being a mentor and supporting other behavioral health peer support specialists is more than just work-related, because we have our own stuff and we're in recovery ourselves, and so we not only need to be supported in the workforce and what we do on a day-to-day basis with our other peers.
Imagine having a mentor who truly understands the rocky path you're walking. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', host Bill Deavel sits down with Peer Support Specialists Bill Hartford and Zac Canada to shed light on Montana's Peer Network (MPN) mentoring program.

Bill and Zac open up about their experiences both as mentors and mentees. They share candid stories of the ups and downs, the breakthroughs, and the small victories that come from these unique relationships. The mentoring program is more than a professional perk; it's a lifeline for many navigating the challenges of peer support work. The episode touches on the importance of shared experiences and professional relationships in fostering growth and resilience.
Listeners will get a glimpse into how mentoring helps peer support specialists not just survive but thrive in their roles. Bill and Zac discuss the nuances of their work, highlighting how the guidance they receive helps them better support others on their recovery journeys. Whether you're a peer support specialist, someone in recovery, or simply interested in the power of mentorship, this episode offers valuable insights into the heart of MPN's mission.
