“My mentor helped me see possibilities I couldn’t see for myself. Through our conversations, I built confidence, clarified my goals and started taking practical steps towards a career I genuinely wanted. Having someone believe in me, challenge me and encourage me made a real difference in my recovery journey.”
“Mentoring through the Women’s Resilience Centre has been one of the most rewarding volunteering experiences of my career. Being able to share my professional knowledge and support another woman to build confidence and move towards her goals has been incredibly meaningful. It reminds you how powerful encouragement and practical guidance can be.”
