Fife Peer Mentor Service

Location: Fife

The Fife Peer Mentor Service recruits' mentors who are stable in their recovery journey and looking to support individuals who are struggling with substance misuse.

Services Offered/Interventions:

Mentors are allocated a mentee who they support on a one-to-one basis in a variety of settings and encourage and support mentees to attend necessary appointments and to attend our recovery cafes to promote socialisation and improve support networks with other people in recovery. Mentors have the opportunity to participate in a variety of training such as Phoenix Induction, SMART Recovery, Naloxone Train the Trainers and a range of training offered by external agencies. Mentees, depending on stability, also have the opportunity to progress to the mentor role.

The project runs several recovery cafes throughout Fife. Mentors and mentees attend these cafes to reduce isolation and build friendships with other people in recovery. There is a range of activities within the cafes such as art therapy, dry spot blood testing, naloxone training and cooking.

The service also run a peer mentor training programme within SPS. Mentors have the opportunity to train alongside prisoners within HMP Perth and also attend recovery cafes within the prisons across SPS establishments.
