When It Is Used
Use Mutuality Check when a peer-support interaction may feel one-sided, expert-driven, or disconnected from shared growth.
Mutuality Check for Peer-Support Relationships
Mutuality Check is an Intentional Peer Support reflection tool for peer-support practitioners and participants. It helps both people identify indicators of reciprocity and imbalance so the relationship can stay grounded in co-learning and shared growth.

Relevant Limits
The tool does not create compliance ratings, dependency judgments, practitioner competence scores, diagnoses, blame assignments, or satisfaction measures.
Does Mutuality Check score the relationship?
No. It organizes descriptive indicators and possible adjustments without calculating a mutuality score.
Can imbalance be named by only one person?
Yes. If one person names imbalance and the other does not, the difference is preserved rather than resolved by the system.
Is this client feedback about the practitioner?
No. The tool is framed as shared reflection on relational dynamics, not feedback about the practitioner or assessment of the participant.
