Client Application

Dear Mental Health Provider,

Thank you for partnering with Compeer Buffalo to support the mental wellness of individuals in our community.
Compeer connects people to meaningful social relationships that reduce loneliness and strengthen overall wellbeing. Through a variety of connection-based services, we help clients build supportive friendships, increase community engagement, and feel more connected.

Clients of Compeer may participate in one or more of the following opportunities based on interests, goals, and availability:

Group mentoring and social activities
One-to-one peer support
One-to-one volunteer friendship

Our model is designed to be flexible. Rather than waiting for a single match, clients can begin engaging with Compeer right away through activities and groups, with the potential for a 1-to-1 or peer match.

When completing this application, please provide as much detail as possible. Your insights help us understand your client’s strengths, preferences, and support needs so we can recommend the best connection opportunities.

Clients must reside in Erie County, New York. For Compeer services in other areas, please visit www.compeer.org.

The application form takes only a few minutes to complete. You may save your progress at any time by selecting “Save & Continue Later.” A confirmation email will be sent once the referral is submitted.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 716-883-3331 x325.

Thank you for your partnership in helping individuals build meaningful connections and stronger mental health.

In friendship,
