Virtue Care’s Peer Mentorship provides support from trained peers with lived experience to build self-advocacy, independence, and community participation. It’s guidance, not counseling, using shared experience to help people navigate systems, set goals, and thrive.
How Peer Mentorship works at Virtue Care
Shared experience: relatable support that offers perspective and hope
Skill development: navigating education, employment, healthcare, housing, and transportation; building daily-living and community-participation skills
Empowerment: coaching in rights, responsibilities, decision-making, and self-advocacy
Guidance, not authority: mentors walk alongside; the mentee leads choices
Flexible formats: one-to-one or small groups, focused on goals like postsecondary success, work readiness, or transitioning to community settings
Personalized planning: mentors help map an individualized path to inclusion, independence, and productivity, with regular check-ins on progress
