Peer Mentor

The Peer Mentor in our Adolescent Therapeutic Day Services Program works as part of a team with our Program Director, Clinician, and Community Mentors providing quality care, advocacy, and support during diverse, structured, creative, and enriching daily activates delivered to enrolled youth who are referred by the Department of Mental Health Children's Services in the Fall River and New Bedford areas. The Peer Mentor utilizes their experience, communication skills, knowledge of treatment resources and systems, and motivational skills in supporting the youth/young adult members to achieve skills and progress in their treatment plan and goals. Attendance and participation in staff meetings and trainings is an essential part of the role. The Peer Mentor will provide positive role modeling and display the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
