IARP Mentoring Overview


“A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.”

Bob Proctor


Mentor Match Mission Statement

The IARP mentoring program is designed to assist with skill development for protégés. The program is open to all IARP members. The program is not meant to provide assistance in case-specific issues but rather is meant to enhance a protégé's overall practice.

The Mentoring Program is:

  • A peer-to-peer program that provides support and information
  • Can be a one-time contact or longer-term relationship
  • Typically, only a couple of hours a month
  • Can have more than one mentor

The Mentoring Program is NOT:

  • A training program
  • A time-intensive supervisory program
  • Strictly a one-on-one relationship
  • Mandatory: a mentor can opt to accept a protégé or decline. We all realize our schedules and availability change. If contacted, the choice is yours.

Note: If you do not meet the mentoring program requirements, please consider joining the IARP Coaching Program. For more information, click here.
