COMPANIONSHIP CAN BE THERAPEUTIC.
Compeer Rochester’s Adult Program pairs community volunteers with individuals living with mental health challenges. These peers spend four hours a month together enjoying our region’s rich cultural, recreational, and educational offerings and opportunities such as museums, parks, music and art, cafes and restaurants, sports venues, and much more!
Participating adults are referred to Compeer by mental health professionals who know that the friendship and mentoring we provide can be profoundly therapeutic against the isolation, anxiety, and other painful elements of mental illness. Our goal is that the volunteer/adult match be a source of wellness for both individuals.
Our Adult Program also offers Compeer Calling, through which volunteers make regular calls to an indivdual. Some adults in this program are awaiting a 1:1 match, while other prefer to stay at this level of engagement.
Our special volunteers are thoroughly screened and trained, matched through preferences, and supported every step of the way by Compeer Rochester staff.
