A Peer Treatment Monitor (PTM) is a trusted individual, such as a partner, family member, or close friend, who supports you during your sessions by maintaining a safe and focused environment.

Their presence is required to monitor your safety and assist you during your sessions. They should also be prepared to contact your guide for any non-emergency concerns and call emergency services if necessary, although this is highly uncommon.

During your first session, your guide will ask to speak directly with your PTM. If they cannot fulfill their responsibilities, your session will be rescheduled.
