The Peer Support Study

Training: We have previously developed and beta-tested a virtual peer mentor training program adapted from the St. Jude's Research Hospital's (Memphis, USA) program for FCs of children with cancer for adults using HMV. Content \& Design of the Virtual Peer-Support Program: The program will be delivered by the aTouchAway™ App used for the LIVE program. Participants will be requested to access peer mentors ≥1 time/week. Participants can choose to interact with a peer mentor which will be assigned as well as other peer participants. Onboarding: Participants and mentors will create a personal profile of their caregiving situation (e.g., duration of care, family member age and diagnosis), to enable selection of mentors by the research team believed to be well suited to address support needs, questions, and concerns based on similar lived experience.
