‘We’re all on the same journey; some are just a bit further down the road than others’: a qualitative study exploring peer mentors’ experiences in Active Rehabilitation camps for individuals with acquired brain injury
The peer mentors benefitted from their role and described it as part of their rehabilitation journey. We recommend that peer mentors receive training before entering this position, feedback on their performance, and camp schedules that accommodate time for rest and informal meetings between mentees and peer mentors.
