WE'VE WALKED IN YOUR SHOES
peer connect Become A Mentor As a survivor or caregiver, you know better than anyone else what it is like to go through treatment, how to deal with side effects, and how to manage all the emotions— highs and lows—that come with a melanoma diagnosis. Share your experience and expertise by volunteering as a Peer Connect mentor to another survivor or caregiver. Request a Mentor If you have recently been diagnosed with melanoma, you may be experiencing a wide range of feelings and emotions. Our goal is to provide support to help ease the anxieties, stresses, and fears that may arise during your melanoma journey.
In this program, you are matched with a trained, volunteer peer mentor who has “walked in your shoes” as a melanoma patient — ideally, someone who was diagnosed with the same stage of melanoma. The peer mentor provides one-on-one support, a listening ear, and guidance in a safe, nonjudgmental, and confidential environment.
