Do you feel the call to be a mentor to a student or early addiction professional?

The TAAP Student/Workforce Development Committee is seeking experienced professionals to serve as mentors and guides for those navigating their way through the profession.

If you feel the call to serve as a mentor this upcoming year, please take a moment to complete the registration form through the link below.

What is expected? A mentor provides support & guidance to mentees who are navigating a career in addiction counseling. This is different than supervision. A mentor is able to lead the future generation in the addiction profession. Once the committee reviews applications you will be contacted with further instructions.
