Holiday music needed for sing along
ORGANIZATION: Compeer of Greater Buffalo
Please visit the new page to apply.
Compeer matches community volunteers in one-to-one friendships with adults struggling with mental health issues. Every year Compeer hosts a luncheon where we have presents for all. For many this is their only holiday celebration, so we like to make it special. Our folks love to sing. We are looking for a lively, fun person/group who has instruments for a great holiday song sing-a long. It is only for about a half an hour. Most likely from 2:00 - 2:30. Compeer is happy to make copies of the lyrics.

Mission Statement
Promoting good mental health through meaningful friendships.
Description
Compeer Buffalo operates four core programs, each focusing on friendship and supportive relationships to encourage mental wellness. These include one-on-one volunteer mentoring, group mentoring social activities, school-based mentoring, and Mental Health Education (including the evidenced based curriculum for Mental Health First Aid). Volunteers become positive role models, help raise self-esteem, increase social and communication skills, and encourage independence for their Compeer friends. The relationship between volunteers and their friends encourages a sense of belonging, trust, respect, hope, support, and empowerment.
The Compeer model of one-to-one support is an evidenced based program that was recognized in 2007 by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) - a branch of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services - as an evidenced based program under the National Registry of Evidenced based Programs and Practices (NREPP).
