We are seeking cancer survivors and caregivers to complete training in order to become Peer Navigators providing one-to-one emotional support to others facing a similar situation. You must be either a cancer survivor/living with cancer, OR someone who has actively cared for a loved one going through cancer treatment. Friend for Life offers support cost-free peer-to-peer emotional support to persons facing any form of cancer, both patients and caregivers. Support is provided by phone, email, text, Zoom, or in-person.
The ideal Peer Navigator is someone who is self-motivated and responsible, an attentive listener who is considerate and respectful of others. We require prospective volunteers to complete a professionally directed training program before undertaking their role. Peer Navigators function largely on their own, with minimal direct supervision.
