Mission Specialist Mentorship (6 Months)
SVN Mission Specialists are veteran supervised visitation providers who serve as trusted mentors throughout the Launchpad journey. They bring a deep understanding of the field, a commitment to ethical practice, and a passion for helping new providers launch with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
Mission Specialists are embedded into the Launch Sequence as co-pilots—walking alongside participants each month to:
- Provide personalized, one-on-one mentorship tied to each step of the Flight Plan
- Offer real-world insight into business operations, documentation, and safety protocols
- Help integrate learning from certificate trainings into tangible practice tools
- Act as strategic sounding boards during decision-making, policy drafting, and problem-solving
- Encourage sustainable leadership rooted in boundaries, reflection, and mission
Their consistent guidance ensures that Launchpad participants don’t just complete a training—they build a practice grounded in values, equipped for real-world complexity, and ready to serve their communities with professionalism and care.
