Peer Mentoring Programme

We run peer mentoring programmes where mentors who have lived experiences of substance misuse and/or mental health issues share their expertise and knowledge in order to offer advice and guide people who are in similar situations.

Our mentors offer free, confidential support in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr to access training, education, paid employment and support at work.

The service is delivered in partnership with and NewLink Wales and Barod.
