Request a Mentor

We know you because we’ve been you

Are you seeking support from someone who understands what you are going through?  Through EDF’s mentorship program, we will match you with a mentor who has walked the path and understands the complexity of the recovery journey. This 10-week program will provide one-on-one support during weekly connections.  We strongly believe in the power of connection, meaningful conversations, and creating a community of like-minded individuals – factors we attribute to living a life in/towards recovery. We welcome individuals 16+ from all states in the US. Pairs may meet virtually or in person.

We at EDF are absolutely blown away by the massive interest in our blossoming mentorship program. We have received an unprecedented number of applications from members of the community who want to pursue recovery with us.

Please note that this program has a limited number of available mentors, so there is no guarantee you will be paired.  Mentee applicants not accepted this round may re-apply next quarter. 

Apply if you are:

  • Motivated and actively pursuing recovery
  • 16+, living in the US
  • Have existing clinical support in place
  • Not currently in a higher level of care (IOP included)
