Compeer of MHA in Ulster County matches caring trained volunteers with community members who are receiving mental health services.
Compeer volunteers really make a difference in their friends lives. Volunteers meet with their friend 4 hours a month and share activities like, movies, going out to lunch, shopping or swimming at the Y or just enjoying a cup of coffee and conversation. They also attend Compeer-sponsored events. You and your friend choose the times and places you meet. 4 hours a month is not much time, but it makes a huge difference!–because the road to wellness is easier with a friend.
Before being matched, volunteers undergo a background check, as well as an interview and training session.
