Peer Mentor Program

The NCS Peer Mentor Program is designed to empower cancer patients by partnering them with current or former cancer patients who can provide insight on their own cancer experience.

“It’s like being an older sibling.”

“I was matched with my peer mentor a couple of weeks ago. She was able to answer lots of questions and provided so much support. She is even coming to my first chemo treatment today, how great is that!”

The peer mentor program is made up of volunteers who provide understanding, encouragement and compassion, suggestions of questions for the medical team, and serve as a source for reasoning out decisions. They have been in your shoes and are here for you.
