“Mentoring enabled me to build my confidence, and now I’m able to go out and mix with other people in the community; and able to cope – doing things that I was not able to do before, such as grocery shopping.”

Nikki is very enthusiastic about what mentoring has done for her and would thoroughly recommend mentoring for other people. 

At the time I was matched with my mentor I had no idea of the lifeline it was to be.  Only now as I look back and reflect on the experience do I see it!  It’s like I was stuck high on a mountain and amidst the ‘noise’ of my difficult situation I didn’t see the helicopter dropping the survival pack to me.
