Abstract
The purpose of this project was to provide a foundation, support, and resources in developing a peer support program. An application, questionnaires, and interviews for peer mentors along with checklists and surveys to collect interest and experiences, were developed for the matching process. A Staff Supervisor Resource Guide was created to provide information for JEVS staff members assisting with the program. Each area of this project was designed in collaboration with the JEVS team with various levels of feedback to determine use and relevance to the program. Results of post-training interviews showed an impact in confidence and skill set after participating in peer support training. Additionally, all materials were created to match peer mentors with potential mentees, however time constraints and feedback for more interaction with peers limited the fulfillment of mentor-mentee pairs. Lastly, a staff supervisor guide was developed, however the guide needs further development before distribution.
