What is Peer Mentoring?

The Peer mentoring Project is a partnership between St Mungo’s and AWP, enabling people with experience of living with mental health challenges (either themselves or through supporting someone) to use that experience to support someone else in the community, to help them improve their wellbeing, confidence & self-esteem, use their time meaningfully and enjoyably and reducing feelings of isolation.

​

What do Peer Mentor’s get out of it?

• Excellent training to ensure they are able to mentor safely & confidently, with the opportunity to complete an NOCN level 2 Peer Mentoring accredited qualification

• A variety of other training available through the volunteer network, to enhance personal development

• Supervision 1:1 and group coaching

• Encouragement to complete a “Wellbeing Action Plan” to help mentors maintain their wellbeing whilst mentoring

• Mentoring will also help build self-confidence, improve listening & communication skills, enhance leadership & team working skills and give a sense of purpose and fulfilment

• Enhance work related skills to help build a CV where appropriate
