Description

This feature allows peer mentors to temporarily pause their availability without fully deactivating their account or losing their history and assignments. A pause status widget displays the current status prominently on the peer mentor profile. A dedicated pause toggle screen guides the user through setting a pause reason and optionally an expected return date. The Pause Notification Service automatically notifies the relevant coordinator when a pause is activated or lifted. For HLF, pausing is also linked to certification expiry — an expired certification automatically triggers a paused-equivalent state that hides the mentor from public rosters.

Analysis

Business Value

Peer mentoring is voluntary work and life circumstances change. Without a formal pause mechanism, mentors who need a break are forced to either stay active (leading to burnout and missed contacts) or fully deactivate (losing their history and requiring re-onboarding). Neither outcome is acceptable for organizations trying to retain experienced volunteers. The pause feature reduces churn by providing a dignified off-ramp that preserves the mentor's data and relationships. Coordinator notification on status change closes the communication gap identified in HLF's survey — coordinators currently discover mentor unavailability only when assignments go unanswered, creating risk for vulnerable contacts who are not followed up.

Implementation Notes

The pause state is stored in the peer_mentor_status_logs table with a status enum (active, paused, suspended), reason text, and optional return_date. The PeerMentorService exposes a `pauseMentor(id, reason, returnDate)` method that writes the log entry and triggers the Pause Notification Service. The notification service calls the Push Notification Service with a coordinator-targeted message. The PauseStatusWidget is a colored banner injected at the top of the PeerMentorDetailScreen, driven by the latest status log entry. For HLF's certification-linked pause, a background job in the backend compares certification expiry dates daily and auto-creates pause log entries. The pause toggle screen uses AppButton and AppTextField widgets from the design system and includes a confirmation step to prevent accidental pauses.
