PEER MENTOR PROGRAM

Sharon Lathrop, Program Supervisor

The Peer Mentor Program has been designed for individuals who would like to work with another peer who has experience with the mental health system. 

Mentors will help build a supportive relationship with the peer that that will foster self discovery and trust.  Each peer and mentor will work toward specific goals that will assist the peer in the development of advocacy, choice, and empowerment.  Mentors can offer guidance and support in a time of crisis and encourage peers that recovery is a process.

The mentors and peers will work together in a one to one relationship while focusing on furthering independence.

The program is available 7 days a week from 8:30a.m. to 9:00p.m.  The peers and mentors decide together on the time they meet.  This time can change according to events, activities, appointments, etc. that are
