In response to feedback from many impacted by Route, the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center created a community peer support program with the assistance of a nationally recognized expert. Cherie Castellano’s award-winning model was used to develop HEART for the worldwide Route 91 family in early 2021. Peer support is known to have benefits for both the supporter and the receiver.
HEART Peer Mentors are trained to offer services on an individual basis. They are well-versed in evidence-based best practices to support each other and also have the benefit and guidance of trauma-informed clinicians and wellness advocates. Peers Mentors assist Peers with access to more formal services as needed.
Our amazing Peer Mentors are Routers, parents of Routers, community responders, and friends of Routers. They are women, men, married, single, divorced, widowed, people in recovery—all who were impacted by Route.
We invite you to learn more about HEART and how you can be involved by registering for this information session, available at two different times. Alice Goldstein, Lead HEART Coach, and Jill Winter, Lead HEART Peer Mentor, will explain how this program can help to strengthen the existing Route 91 community that has already shown tremendous resilience in the face of tragedy. Starting October 7, Alice and Jill will train individuals on how to become Peer Mentors and assist those impacted by Route 91 when they need it most.
