FPA Peer Mentor Program

Get one-on-one peer support from someone affected by facial pain, just like you. Volunteer Peer Mentors have experience and advice to share. They are available for you to call, email, or video chat. Peer Mentors are trained FPA volunteers who can be sympathetic listeners, connect you to resources, and will share their best facial pain tips. Making a personal connection provides you with vital support, encouragement, and information.

FPA Peer Mentors are from many locations across the U.S. and internationally, and are chosen in part because they represent a diverse experience with facial pain. They range in age, gender, geography, diagnosis, treatments, side effects, life experiences, and more. Whether you are looking to connect with a young mom to learn about her experience with facial pain during pregnancy, or you are considering trying medical cannabis or another complementary health approach, or want to hear about someone else’s experience with MVD, neurostimulation or other treatment, we can connect you. Many times, just speaking with someone who understands your struggle can make a huge difference.

We encourage you to take advantage of this important resource. Contact us to find a peer match today, we’ll help connect you with new friends who truly understand your facial pain experience. To help us make a better Peer Mentor match, we encourage you to share any additional information you are comfortable with such as: your general geographic location; your diagnosis, if you have one; your stage of life (working, retired, raising a family, etc.).
