Mentor Inactive & Reinstatement Process

Mentor Inactive Status

—Mentors in good standing may elect for various life reasons to request Inactive Status for a maximum of up to 18 months with an option to return to active status without prejudice when they are ready to do so.

—Though they will not meet with Mentees, they must still attend their monthly Supervision Group with their Supervising Teacher.

—Inactive Mentors will not be listed on the website or resource lists during this time.

—The inactive Mentor who is ready to resume active status within 18 months or less will consider this with their Supervising Teacher and then notify the MTEC.

Mentor Reinstatement Process

—The Inactive Mentor who goes beyond the 18 months, must obtain the approval of his or her Supervising Teacher as to readiness to engage the Reinstatement Process, which will be conducted through an evaluating committee.

—After the 18 month time frame, the Returning Teacher/Mentor Evaluation Committee, in its discretion, may determine, on a case by case basis, a process to reinstate the Teacher/Mentor. This may include sessions with teachers, or therapists, or participation in workshops or retreats.
