Researchers from the Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research presented on employment resources and training for peer mentors on October 11. The presentation was made to a group of peer mentors in the Henry B. Betts LIFE Center at Shirley Ryan 汤头条app. The Shirley Ryan 汤头条app peer mentors are people with disabilities who have transitioned back to the community. They share their stories, insights and support, based on their own experiences, with others who are more recently disabled.
