A Peer Treatment Monitor's (PTM) 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.
You can download our PTM toolkit for helpful resources to support you in finding your PTM, including conversation guides and outreach templates. If you’re inviting someone to be your PTM, share this guide with them. It outlines their role and what to expect during your sessions.
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.
