GLOBAL LYME ALLIANCE PEER TO PEER MENTOR PROGRAM
One on One Support Program
Living with Lyme disease and/or other tick-borne illness can be debilitating. It can be difficult navigating the journey – symptoms, treatments, healthcare providers, and information – without the support from others who have already been there.
GLA’s peer to peer mentor program is a free resource for people who have been affected by a tick-borne illness and want to connect with someone who has been through a similar journey.
GET SUPPORT FROM A PEER MENTOR
GLA peer mentors are people just like you! They have experienced the Lyme disease journey as a patient, caregiver, parent, spouse, or other family member and can help by sharing their experiences, providing emotional support, and assist you to overcome the many challenges associated with tick-borne illnesses.
