Mission Statement

To improve the quality of life and assist in the rehabilitation and support of referred adults and children receiving mental health care. To initiate, develop, strenghen and unite the effort of Compeer agencies and programs in other communities both nationwide and in other countries. To meet the needs of volunteers, professionals, community organizations, and institutions in serving Compeer's identified population.

Description

A Compeer volunteer is matched in a one-to-one or group friendship relationship with a person diagnosed with mental illness. After being carefully screened by the Compeer staff and referring therapist, the volunteer is matched with an appropriate individual of their choice. Compeer's goal is to compliment professional care by providing a meaningful friendship and role model for those outside the traditional mental health setting.
