I have been part of the Compeer team since 2024, contributing to our mission of supporting mental health through friendship.
“My job is to identify and recruit community members to join on our mission of ending loneliness and isolation by being a friend to one of our amazing clients or supporting our clients in one of our other volunteer opportunities. I also work to ensure that our dedicated volunteers are heard and more importantly valued for the impact that they make in the lives of our clients and community.
I have personal lived experience with mental health challenges and I understand what it is like to be lonely and to not have support or anyone to turn to when you need it most. I believe that my purpose is to support people who experience similar or different challenges because one person being there can make a world of a difference and change the trajectory of your life.”
