ARKANGEL PEER MENTORING PROGRAM

Wirral Churches' ArkAngel Staff and service users; Ark Direct Access Hostel Staff and service users have agreed to work in partnership and are committed to executing a peer to peer Mentoring Program to assist Wirral Churches ArkAngel Supported Housing to meet its overall purpose.

In partnership with Ark Direct Access Hostel Staff and the clients thereof the delivery of peer mentoring by ArkAngel Supported Housing will be provided to clients from both services. The roles of mentor and mentee shall be assigned to clients in relation to their individual needs.

The purpose of the Mentoring Program is to form an environment which will encourage and support willing clients' development. Overall, the aim is to empower more independence in more people. One of the fundamental goals of the Mentoring Program is that it will create a self supporting group of people who can transmit wisdom informally, within a professional setting (talk to each other about things: life experiences and suchlike).

We are currently recruiting for peer mentors
Please read our full Peer Mentoring Program document and if you feel you are suited then please use our contact page and get in touch.
The Mentoring Program also aims to underpin the work completed by Key workers when using the Outcomes Star tool kit. The Outcomes Star is used to track clients' progress on their journey through the service and it is through this system that we aim to monitor the success of the project.

Service users and ex-service users who choose to participate in the Program can be categorised into mentors and mentees; these roles aim to benefit the client in different ways, respectively, and through the implementation of the Mentoring Program an individual can expect to gain a set of values which are listed below.

These lists are not exhaustive and serve as a guide.

Mentors:

  • Ability to communicate on an interpersonal level
  • Build confidence through helping others; sense of achievement
  • Enhance an already established sense of identity
