Resume Function

A pause mechanism without a structured resume path would make every pause effectively permanent, worsening the very retention problem it was meant to solve. The source document describes pause as a temporary deactivation, which demands a clearly supported return flow. From a coordinator perspective, knowing when a mentor has returned is as operationally important as knowing when they paused - automated resume notifications let coordinators immediately reassign open cases, reducing delays in support delivery to contacts and preventing service gaps that erode trust in the program.

PeerMentorResumeService handles the paused-to-active transition and enforces a prerequisite check against certification validity via CertificationExpiryMonitor before completing the state change. If certification has expired during the pause period the resume attempt surfaces an informative error directing the mentor to renew first. ResumeStatusScreen displays pause start date and total pause duration with a clear CTA. Coordinator notification is sent through the same push pathway as pause events. State change is persisted in peer_mentor_status_history with resume timestamp. All screens must meet WCAG 2.2 AA requirements.
