Mentorship

Someone who already gets it.

Our mentors are real people living with Type 1: parents, teens, partners and adults, trained to listen, share, and walk beside you for as long as you need.

How it works

Three steps. Zero pressure.

01

Tell us a little about you

A short, no-pressure form, whether you're a newly diagnosed, parent, teen, partner, or adult. Whatever you are, we have someone for you.

02

We match you intentionally

We pair you with a trained mentor based on age, life stage, and what you actually want to talk about, not just a checkbox.

03

Meet on your terms

Ask your mentor any questions you may have, they are there for you and ready to support you in every way possible.

Who it's for

Whoever you are in this story.

We match by life stage and lived experience, because the questions a scared parent has are nothing like the questions a college freshman has.

  • Newly diagnosed kids & their parents
  • Newly diagnosed teens
  • Newly diagnosed adults
  • Partners & spouses
  • Siblings & grandparents
  • Caregivers re-learning the basics
