How Will These Services Help?

Families gain support and assistance with:

• Parent skill development, promoting effective family-driven practice

• School-related issues

• Coping strategies that can help families to better deal with the stress in their homes

• Community connections and natural supports

On the whole, our Family Peer Mentor provides our participating youth and their families with information, inspiration, support, and advocacy.

FAMILY WELLNESS INSPIRES INDIVIDUAL WELLNESS.

At Compeer, we view the family as a whole unit. We understand the importance of a positive family environment for those in our Youth Program. With this in mind, we created the Family Peer Mentor Program. Through this program, Compeer closely connects families to the services, agencies, and other resources that can help them attain their vision for their family’s wellness.  This support might be as simple as giving a family a list of affordable summer camps or after school programs in their neighborhood, or providing information on local food pantries, or as intensive as our Family Peer Mentor accompanying families to agency appointments, court appointments, or school meetings.
