Peer mentors and peer advocates provide a positive role model and active support for others just starting out in their road to recovery, helping individuals to consider their options and supporting them to achieve their goals.
The empathy and understanding thatĀ peer mentorsĀ have gained through their own experiences can help them win the trust of service users and encourage them to sustain their commitment to change.
Our peer mentor and peer advocacy training programmes for stable and former service users provide opportunities for personal development and growth and provide career pathways for individuals with a history of substance misuse and criminal behaviour.
