Be the Support You Once Needed: Mentor in AAPI Recovery

Your journey can inspire others—become a mentor and help guide someone in the AAPI community toward lasting sobriety.

Why AAPI mentorship Matters

The AAPI community faces unique challenges in recovery, from cultural stigma to family expectations that discourage open discussions about substance use. Many AAPI individuals struggle in silence, fearing shame or misunderstanding from those around them. As a mentor, you can:

Offer Culturally Informed Support

Help mentees navigate recovery while honoring their cultural identity and values.

Challenge Stigma

By sharing your story, you break the silence and show others that recovery is possible and valid within AAPI communities.

Bridge the Gap in Representation

Many AAPI individuals do not see themselves in recovery spaces. Your mentorship helps create a sense of belonging and encouragement.

HOW IT WORKS:

Share Your Experience

As someone in recovery, your insights can provide hope and practical support to someone who is just beginning their journey.

Create a Meaningful Connection

Mentors are matched with mentees based on shared experiences and recovery goals, fostering an authentic and supportive relationship.

Flexible Engagement

Mentoring sessions can occur in person or virtually, allowing you to provide support in a way that works for both you and your mentee.

Why Become a Mentor?

  • Support others in overcoming stigma and embracing sobriety.

  • Helping someone else can reinforce your own commitment to sobriety and personal growth.

  • Your voice and story can create change and provide hope where it is needed most.
