Can we really have some sort of mentor system ? it would really help reverts considering most of the posts on advice and support channel are reverts facing difficulties.

We can do it if members volunteer to be mentors. I believe our first step will be to set
up a list of volunteers

I am not sure if anyone has already posted this elsewhere, but there is an initiative set up locally (WALES) for new Muslims and includes this kind of buddy system.

Count me in please

 

[Woodrow]

I am very much interested in this as a project. I am still trying to figure out how as a forum what would be the best approach.

Peer Counseling type mentoring is very effective and helpful. I believe that this is a very worthwhile effort to get involved in.

Any suggestions as to what you think us staff members need to do to make it work?

 

[zakirs]

I guess we should have a list of volunteers.Each new revert would request for a mentor (or we would suggest one ) and then we can allot a person based on location and may be language.the forum would be updated with who is mentoring whom and who is free.

You just might become our test subject. ;D

If any member reading this would like to be a mentor to Jess PM me, do not post it here. I will see what we can do. this would be a good start and we can find out the actual logistics and problems in a mentoring program

Jess I believe we may have a mentor for you. As soon as I work things out I will send you her email address. Initially she will be anonymous to you but I can assure you it will be a female familiar with were you live.
