Who Are the CCRP Mentors?

• The CCRP engages both Wounded SOF Warriors and
  their family members as Mentors.
• CCRP Mentors are those Wounded SOF Warriors and
  family members who are further along in their
  recovery and rehabilitation they are matched
  with newly injured SOF Warriors based on
  similarity of injuries, military background,
  family situation, geographic proximity and other
  factors as appropriate.
• Wounded SOF Warriors and family members are
  recommended as Mentors by Care Coalition LNOs and
  Advocates as well as CCRP Advocates many of our
  Mentors are former participants in the program
  who have successfully progressed in theirs
  recovery and rehabilitation.

A CCRP Mentor Is

• A Confidant. Because you are uniquely qualified
  to understand the issues, concerns, hopes, and
  goals of a wounded SF warrior and his/her family
  members, you become a person that can be trusted
  and whom the participant can confide in.
• A Good Listener. By practicing active listening
  you encourage the participant to express his/her
  frustrations, expectations, and successes.
  Feeling understood is important.
• A Sounding Board. The participant may bounce
  ideas off of you and use your knowledge of the
  recovery and rehabilitation process to explore
  avenues for him or herself.
• A Resource. The participant may bring up issues
  to you regarding medical or emotional care,
  transition assistance, housing, career, or a
  variety of other concerns. You act as a link
  between participants concerns and the resources
  available through the CCRP and the Care Coalition
  to address participants issues.
• An Inspiration. Simply your presence can act as
  an example of what the participant can achieve
  with hard work and determination. Seeing a
  wounded SF warrior who is successfully managing
  his/her injuries can act as inspiration and
  motivation for the participant.

A CCRP Mentor Is Not
A Doctor, Physical Therapist, Mental Health
Counselor, Etc. Although you are encouraged to
share with participants your experiences with
medical procedures, pain management, mental
health concerns and other aspects of recovery and
rehabilitation, Mentors are not part of the
participants medical team. Concerns about the
participants medical status should be shared
with the appropriate CCRP Advocate. The Main
Character. The Mentor-Participant relationships
main focus is to lend support and encouragement
to the participant. Even though it has been
documented that mentoring relationships are
mutually beneficial, bear in mind that it is not
about you.
