FPA Peer Mentor Program

The FPA’s Peer Mentor Program provides trained volunteers who can offer one-on-one support. Peer Mentors are people affected by facial pain who can be empathetic listeners, connect you to resources, and share tips on how to cope with facial pain. FPA Peer Mentors are from states all over the US and several international countries. They represent diverse experiences with facial pain, including diagnoses, treatments, side effects, and much more. Each Peer Mentor lists their preferred contact method, but many are available to call, email, text, or video chat.  

This important resource is available free of charge thanks to volunteers who donate their time to help others feel less alone. FPA Peer Mentors understand the value of creating connections and the power of communicating with empathy, honesty, and reassurance. 

There are two ways to connect with an FPA Peer Mentor:   

You can choose a Peer Mentor by filling out the form below and downloading the Peer Mentor List. Peer Mentors are listed by geographic location, diagnosis, life experience, and many other characteristics.

You can also request a recommendation from the FPA staff by filling out the Custom Help form. To help us make a better match, we encourage you to share additional information such as where you live, your diagnosis, and your stage of life (working, retired, raising a family, etc.). You will receive an email with recommendations based on the information you provide.
