Great mentors don’t fix peopleĀ - they walk beside them.
The Pathlight Mentor Certification is a competency-based training designed to prepare peer mentors to guide others through growth, recovery, and transition with integrity, boundaries, and emotional awareness. You’ll learn how to support without rescuing, listen without judgment, and model the habits that build trust and self-reliance.

This isn’t theoryĀ - it’s mentorship you can use in the real world, with real people.

Who It’s For

  • Peer mentors supporting individuals in recovery or re-entry.

  • Community members stepping into mentorship or facilitation roles.

  • Program graduates preparing to mentor others in the Pathlight model.

  • Volunteers, staff, and lived-experience mentors guiding others through change.

  • Anyone ready to lead from experience while maintaining professional and emotional balance.

Why It Works

Because real change doesn’t happen on the surface; it’s built from the inside.

The BFIā„¢ Certification gives you both the science and the system to lead transformation that lasts. Each module connects emotional intelligence, accountability, and structure to create measurable growth in people and programs. You’ll walk away with a credential that proves not just what you know, but how you lead.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to build trust and accountability through clear, consistent boundaries.
  • How to identify and manage emotional triggersĀ - yours and theirs.
  • How to use active listening and trauma-informed communication.
  • How to model emotional regulation and problem-solving in real time.
  • How to collaborate with program staff, case managers, and directors.
  • How to stay grounded and effective without burnout or overreach.

You don’t rebuild lives by luck.
You build them from the inside, one structure, one system, one breakthrough at a time.Ā
