Its called Compeer and, I quote, is an "organization that helps adults and children overcome the devastating effects of mental illness, such as loneliness, isolation and low self-esteem – through the power of friendship. Our volunteer-based programs and services, which serve as a complement to therapy, provide supportive friendships for people in mental-health care – helping them on their recovery journey".

What do you think?

I've heard of it. Ask them if they have brought volunteers in to do this from outside the US. They should give you a letter to travel with describing the arrangement. They already may have one for this type of thing.
