Peer to peer mentoring is geared to support individuals who may feel socially and emotionally isolated, and may need a friendly person to speak with or visit them from time to time.
The peer to peer support is provided by mentors or community partners who volunteer their time.
The peer to peer relationship is monitored by the team to provide greater support, if needed.
Sometimes are peers have the same role, for example, a seasoned mother supporting a new mom, or an older youth mentoring a younger teen.
