During a wounded warrior’s initial recovery, often the most positive influence is the friendship and understanding of a peer mentor, a fellow wounded warrior. It is critically important for the newly injured to know someone who has traveled before them on the same rocky road. Our staff and alumni are excellent resources, listeners and “hospital buddies” who can share their understanding and perspective from their own real-life successes.
Our peer mentors are also available to visit with the wounded warrior’s family, if requested. Peer mentors can help family members visualize the achievements possible through rehabilitation and hard work.
In addition to our peer mentoring program, WWP provides and fosters opportunities for informal peer interaction, where WWP Alumni can meet, support, and inspire newly injured warriors.
