Our Peer Mentoring Service offers support for people who are going through the process of diagnosis or have recently been diagnosed with ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia or Long Covid (with post exertional malaise). Volunteer peer-mentors can offer support as you move along your journey from diagnosis to adapting to life with a chronic condition.
If you would like the support of a mentor, or you would like to volunteer your time to help others, please get in touch. A peer mentor will be a role model and a friendly guide. They will show you that living with your illness is possible. Some of the things that a peer mentor might do:
• Talk with you about your needs
• Share what their experience has been like
• Offer support during transitions such as waiting for a diagnosis or retirement through ill health
• Help you to better understand your condition and possible treatment approaches
• Attend appointments with you
They will always be: • Kind • Respectful • Non-judgmental.
