At Oasis, peer mentors are essential members of the care team—people with lived experience who understand what it takes to start over. Trained and certified, they walk alongside clients to provide consistent, real-world support grounded in respect, empowerment, and recovery-focused guidance.
STABILIZATION & EARLY LIFE PLANNING:
During the first phase of care, mentors focus on helping clients meet essential needs—securing ID, accessing benefits, scheduling medical appointments, and establishing care. This early support helps lay the foundation for progress.
TRANSPORTATION & RECOVERY ENGAGEMENT:
Peer mentors provide rides to recovery meetings, community resources, and essential appointments. They don’t just help clients get there—they go with them, offering encouragement and introducing them to a broader network of recovery-focused individuals.
COMMUNITY CONNECTION & MEETING SUPPORT:
Our mentors help clients find recovery meetings and support groups that align with their values and needs—whether that’s 12-step, faith-based, harm-reduction, or trauma-informed spaces. The goal is to build a sense of belonging and continuity outside of treatment hours.
WEEKLY GOAL PLANNING & STRUCTURE:
Clients meet with their peer mentor to create weekly goals, set schedules, and track progress. Mentors offer accountability, practical advice, and check-ins throughout the week—especially important for those in recovery housing.
EMOTIONAL & PEER BASED SUPPORT:
Mentors offer more than logistics—they offer perspective, encouragement, and non-judgmental support during tough moments. Clients know they have someone they can call, lean on, and talk with honestly.
EVENING & WEEKEND AVAILABILITY:
Support doesn’t end at 5 PM. Peer mentors are available on evenings and weekends to provide continuity of care when it matters most.
INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT THE CONTINUUM:
Peer mentors are involved across all levels of care at Oasis, including early intervention, outpatient services, high-intensity outpatient care (HIOP), and recovery housing.
When individuals feel supported and connected, recovery becomes real. Our peer mentors make sure that no one has to walk the road alone.
