Are you a person with lived mental health experience who is passionate about supporting and empowering others going through a similar experience?

Embedding people with lived experience within Living Well Salford offers people hope, aspiration and motivation through their recovery journey. Paid Peer Mentors will support the self-realisation process and empower people to articulate their hopes and goals.

• Working as part of and alongside the Living Well Salford Team to ensure peer mentoring is offered and delivered as an integral element of the service user journey.
