Episode 6: Not Alone Anymore

The Peer Mentor Program and having someone who gets it In this special episode of The 1% Heart, we learn about peer support in the CHD community and the Adult Congenital Heart Association's Peer Mentor program. We get to meet two mentors: Rick Puder, who has been with the program since it started, and Jennie Fox, who was a mentee before becoming a mentor herself. Together, we discuss the importance of patients today learning from patients that have walked in their shoes. The ACHA's Heart to Heart peer mentor program is not only for patients, its for family members and significant others as well. You can sign up using the link below. And if you don't need a mentor, then be a mentor. https://www.achaheart.org/your-heart/programs/heart-to-heart/ Disclaimer & Trigger Warning: Nothing in this episode constitutes medical advice.
