Education Buddies

Trying to understand the biology behind MRKH is tough, and sometimes can get confusing. We are keen to make sure that every advocate has a secure understanding of MRKH so that they feel confident in their role. We will ask every new team member to undertake a short Educational screening and, if needed, we will then assign them an Educational Buddy to help nurture and grow their understanding of the condition. The role of an Educational Buddy is to run through any and all aspects of MRKH as a condition with you, to help you fill any knowledge gaps, and to explain the anatomy of MRKH to you as is required.

Meteor Buddies

Advocacy can be nerve-wracking, and at times can feel lonely. Vics and Tk's Buddy scheme aims to tackle both of those head-on! Every new team member joining us here at MRKH Stars will be matched with a Buddy on their team, to make sure that they have someone to go to with any problems.  They will help to keep on top of deadlines, can proofread any work, and will introduce new advocates to other team members. They will help with Stars terminology, expectations, and getting set up on our groups/apps. Essentially, they are there to help with the transition into the foundation making it smooth and comfortable.

Well-Being Buddies

Our Well-Being Buddies are here to provide mental health support from a peer support perspective. They can be understanding and aware of your triggers, check in with you, and monitor your progress with meeting deadlines and managing workload.  And, if things aren't moving in the direction you would like them to, we can add extra support in the form of well-being calls or alter your workload to be more manageable. Every new team member will also complete a Well-being screening so we can make sure that advocacy is right for you at this time, and if extra support is needed then we can provide that,
