What is peer mentoring?

(1) Peer mentoring is a form of mentorship that takes place between a person who has lived through an experience (peer mentor) and a person who is new to that experience (mentee). Peer mentors use their experience to inform, support, and train mentees to successfully navigate new experiences related to or impacted by their disability.
(2) A peer mentor may provide support and guidance to a client, the client's family, or both.
(3) A peer mentor may connect a waiver participant to local community services, programs, and resources and answer participant questions or suggest other sources of support.
(4) Peer mentoring is available in the IFS and CIIBS waivers.
