Those involved both give and receive peer support in a way that is mutual, non-judgmental and has no hierarchy. Research tells us that those who have experienced things before are sometimes the best people to help others in a similar situation.About the RoleThis role will be focused on information sharing, including providing advice and guidance on dealing with mental health issues, and signposting to the relevant services for additional support. Peer Mentors will not be expected to provide any therapy or to manage crisis situations.
