Description

This unit introduces Step 12, the final step in the process. The assignments are broken down into four weekly sections. You can give fewer assignments during that week if the mentee needs more time, or give more assignments if the mentee is effectively completing the work with the appropriate level of commitment and emotion—the four-week breakdown is just a guideline. Using the H.O.W. method will help you to determine a mentee’s state of mind and readiness to take the next Step in recovery. Step 12 is the last Step you will be guiding your mentee through. From this point, the relationship will change. As you make these final assignments, begin the transition to allowing the mentee to take over the responsibility more and more.
