Peer Support Volunteer
A holistic approach to mental health centers the patient, not their diagnosis or symptoms, at the center of their treatment plan by addressing their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs. It looks at the whole person.
If you are interested in being a big brother/big sister mentor or have a background in art, music, fitness, horticulture, hair styling, barbering, chess player expert, culinary, finances, mental health counseling, or holistic therapy, we would love to hear from you. Whether your background is professional or a passion, if you have skills that you would like to share with others, we want to hear from you.
To learn more about our peer support services and volunteer opportunities, please complete the volunteer inquiry form explaining your background and qualifications. We will then contact you to discuss your skillsets and areas of interest.
