Find a Mentor Angel
Real people. Real connections. Honest conversations.
Through our unique matching process, Imerman Angels partners individuals seeking cancer support with a Mentor Angel – a fighter, survivor, previvor or caregiver – who has been in their shoes. Mentor Angels are trained volunteers who provide a safe, nuturing space for asking questions, laughing, crying and sharing. This personalize support is offered at no cost to ensure that no one faces cancer alone.
Getting matched with your
Mentor Angel begins here.
Step #1
Complete an online registration
The first step is completing our detailed registration form. This gives us a great starting place from which to launch our search. Subsequent steps in our process will help us narrow things further, but it all starts with clicking the button below.
Step #2
Speak with one of our Cancer Support Specialist
During registration you will schedule an assessment with one of our Cancer Support Specialists. This assessment allows us to learn more about you and the particular support you’re looking for. While most assessments are done by phone, we can accommodate various abilities, timezones and other restrictions by performing your assessment via a different platform (e.g. video conference, text, email, etc.).
Step #3
Meet your new Mentor Angel
Once a mentor has been identified, and your matched finalized, we introduce you to your new Mentor Angel.
Support is also available for caregivers.
If you are the caregiver or loved one of someone with cancer we offer support for you through a Caregiver Mentor Angel. We define caregivers as anyone supporting and caring for a parent, spouse, partner, child, sibling, family member, friend, etc. with a cancer diagnosis. If you would like to be matched with a Caregiver Mentor Angel with an experience similar to yours click the button below.
