  • Title: A unique role: the peer mentor on the spinal cord team at G.F. Strong Rehab Centre.
    Author: Young JM, Lawrence W, Quick P.
    Journal: Healthc Manage Forum; 1999; 12(3):51-3. PubMed ID: 10623170.
    Abstract:
    The peer mentor is a full time paid staff member of the G. F. Strong Rehab Centre Spinal Cord Program. To qualify for the position, an individual with a high lesion spinal cord injury must live a self-managed life in the community. The peer mentor's role bridges professional, lay, and client perspectives, and is a voice for both clients and staff unlike any other team member. This report focuses on the peer mentor's facilitation of communication between clients and staff and on two initiatives that promote clients' perspectives.
