TAPS Talks Video: The Power of Peer Mentoring

A mentor is defined as a knowledgeable and experienced guide, a trusted ally and advocate, and a caring role model. An effective mentor is respectful, reliable, patient, trustworthy, and a very good listener and communicator. Peer Mentors are those who understand their interactions with survivors as not simply a volunteer experience but as opportunities to help others discover the potential within themselves to heal. We will have a live discussion surrounding the Peer Mentors' program and the ability for peers to help to nurture this potential in others.
