Peer Mentor I

The Peer Mentor I is responsible for working alongside a multidisciplinary care team to help people recover from an eating disorder. Peer Mentors focus on providing patients with rapport building, skill building, motivational interviewing, and practical support. Outside of patient sessions, Peer Mentors run support groups for patients and members of their support system, and take on additional tasks as needed. Peer Mentors are comfortable with, and passionate about, sharing their lived experience with eating disorder recovery with individuals currently in the process of treatment and recovery. Peer Mentors meet with patients for virtual sessions, tailoring session content to the patient’s unique needs, actively listening, and holding space for patient experiences. They also co-facilitate support groups and consistently complete thorough and timely documentation. They are expected to attend and participate in various internal meetings and trainings. They should be comfortable working in a remote environment including the requirement to be on camera and with ambiguity.
