Peer MentorsThursday, November 20, 2008 - Thursday, December 31, 2009Peer mentors are paired with families (women and children) to provide ongoing emotional support. The women often report that what they most appreciate about their connection with WRC is the break from the loneliness and isolation that has long permeated their lives. Peer mentors are required to attend the DV 101 and Advocacy Training and will be personally matched with a woman or family once training is complete.
