Healthy Opportunities for Personal Empowerment (HOPE) Senior Peer Mentor Program
Health problems, reduced mobility, the loss of a loved one and other stressful life changes can take a toll on our emotional health. You do not have to go through these tough times alone. Senior Peer Mentors are volunteers (age 45 or older) who are trained and supervised. They offer confidential and helpful mentoring using a self-guided workbook model. They are not friendly visitors or companions.
The HOPE Senior Peer Mentor Program is free. It may be right for you if you are age 50 or older, live outside of a care facility and wish to gain more effective coping skills to help manage your mild to moderate depression and/or anxiety.
Senior Peer Mentors will meet with you in your own home or over the telephone. Together you will utilize the workbooks to implement proven strategies for positive change. Situations Senior Peer Mentors can assist you with might include:
- Constant sadness and feeling stressed by life or isolation
- Chronic illness, a disability, or end-of-life concerns
- Family problems, caregiving stress, or loss
- Difficulty adjusting to change or constant worry
To volunteer as a Senior Peer Mentor, please fill out and return the application.
