Peer Mentors are part of the Court team and provide advice, relate to personal experiences, and provide recommendations and guidance to veterans involved with the legal system. Peer Mentors include, but are not limited to, those who have served in Vietnam, Desert Shield/Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom or anyone who has served our country by being in the Armed Forces.

While in court, a mentor is assigned to a veteran participant (offender) and discusses any ongoing problems or issues of interest. The mentor works to problem-solve existing issues that the participant may be facing. This relationship promotes and fosters a "can do" attitude in the veteran and in turn the veteran becomes motivated to accomplish his or her goals in treatment, feels that he or she is not alone and feels that he or she is not alone and knows that the mentor can provide support and assistance in whatever matters that the individual may be facing.
