Mentorship, Outreach, & Peer-to-Peer Programs

Detroit Lions Peer Pride Program 

Eligibility: All Detroit Lions Legends.  

Description: Peer to Peer Outreach to Lions Legends for the purpose of reconnecting and providing peer support for issues that transitioning former players face with the support of the Detroit Lions and former players partnered Healthcare organization, Henry Ford Health System. Peer Pride Captains consist of former players that have been trained and follow the RPS (Reciprocal Peer Support) model with the variation that they are an outreach model and not a call in center; their goal is to reach out to Alumni for the benefit of both, the former players and the Detroit Lions organization.

Peer Pride Captains: Jim Arnold (1986-1993), Eric Beverly (1998-2003), Luther Bradley (1978-1981), Scott Conover (1991-1996), Luther Elliss (1995-2003), Kevin Glover (1985-1997), Eric Hipple (1980-1989), Eddie Murray (1980-1991), Tim Walton 1988
