About the service

Peer mentoring is a countywide one-to-one service offering emotional and practical support.

The service is provided by trained volunteers with a wide range of experience, who may have overcome similar challenges to those you are facing. They will work with you to look at what support you need and the goals you would like to work towards.

This service is available to adults who are experiencing or recovering from mental ill health.

This service is also available to Carers. You do not need a mental health diagnosis to access this service.
