Disclaimer: Peer Mentoring is not a substitute for professional mental health care or medical care. If you feel
psychologically stressed to the point that it is interfering with your ability to function, please have
the courage to seek the help you need in the form of a professional counselor, therapist and/or
psychiatrist.
I understand that the peer support services I will be receiving from my Mentor are not offered as a substitute for professional mental health care or medical care and are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any mental health or medical conditions. I also understand that my Mentor is not acting as a mental health counselor or a medical professional
I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my well-being during my mentoring sessions, and subsequently, including my choices and decisions.
I understand that mentoring is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or medical treatment, and I will not use it in place of any form of therapy.
I understand that all comments and ideas offered by a Peer Support Mentor are solely for the purpose of aiding me in achieving my defined goals in order to improve or enhance my mental wellbeing throughout my recovery journey.
I understand that my mentor will protect my information as confidential unless I state otherwise in writing. If I report child, elder abuse or neglect or threaten to harm myself or someone else, I understand that necessary actions will be taken and my confidentiality agreement limited in this capacity. Furthermore, if my mentor is ordered by a court to provide information or to testify, she will do so to the extent the law requires.
I understand that the use of technology is not always secure and I accept the risks of confidentiality in the use of email, text, phone, Skype, Zoom, and other technology.
