A BIT ABOUT PEER SUPPORT
Guiding You On the Path of Self-Healing
Peer Support is a broad term that refers to a supportive social support established by a person with lived experience of mental health illnesses. Peer support encompasses peer listening, education, and peer mentorship. Peer support works by building social support over a common experience. In the eyes of Life Long Mentors, it is the true empathetic response. Peer supporters share knowledge and experience, something that a psychologist or medical professional who doesn’t share these experiences may not be able to do. Through Life Long Mentors, peer supporters are available to provide individualized support from the shared experience lens. By implementing the peer support model, Life Long Mentors creates hope and support to better support those facing a mental health challenges
