For participants
Ask for support on your terms.
Share your availability, preferred ways to meet, recovery approach, and goals privately. Staff review the request, propose a possible mentor, and both people decide separately.
Recovery mentor pilot
Practical peer support, with choice and clear boundaries.
All These YDays operates a controlled adults-only Pennsylvania pilot that connects participants with trained, staff-approved volunteer recovery mentors, subject to staff capacity and fit.
For mentors
Volunteer with preparation and accountability.
Informally trained mentors and people with existing recovery-support certification may apply. Every candidate completes staff review and a live interview before approval.
How matching works
Staff-mediated and double opt-in.
- Participant and mentor complete separate private applications.
- Staff reviews eligibility, training, agreements, interview, availability, and capacity.
- Staff proposes a match using minimum introductory information.
- Mentor and participant each accept or decline privately.
- Staff schedules orientation and activates the relationship only after both accept.
Important boundaries
Peer support is not treatment or emergency response.
Recovery mentors do not diagnose, provide therapy, direct medication changes, guarantee sobriety, or replace licensed care. This pilot is not monitored continuously.
Immediate danger or medical emergency: call 911. Mental-health or suicide crisis: call or text 988.
Private records
Short, structured support summaries.
Activity records cover when contact happened, its format and duration, agreed goal areas, resources offered, and next steps. Participants can confirm or request a factual correction.
What stays out
No clinical case notes or public recovery profiles.
The pilot does not ask mentors to record diagnoses, treatment analysis, medication advice, detailed disclosures, or unrelated third-party information. Recovery-support records never appear publicly.
