One of our COACH volunteers, Tessa, recently shared about her mentoring experience. Her kind and encouraging words show that being a ‘friend with purpose’ is a life-giving gift, both to participant and mentor:
Becoming a COACH Mentor happened after lots of prayer and soul searching. I have always had good relationships with friends, patients, and staff over my working career. I believe this is something God wanted me to do and feel COACH mentoring is a gift God has given me.
It has been wonderful getting to know my mentee and see how she has grown over the months we have been meeting. Seeing her become motivated to begin her studies and continue with them has been enriching.
It has also been good to have someone like Tecia (COACH Coordinator) to turn to. She provides advice, program coordination, and prayer for us.
I would recommend becoming a COACH mentor. You never know what you will learn about yourself and about others.
Journeying with Tessa and her participant as they learn and grow together is a privilege I am thankful for. While COACH Mentoring is a faith-based program, we offer a non-judgmental service without faith (or other) favouritism. All people are welcome to connect with us.
If you are interested in having or being a COACH mentor, you are welcome to reach out. Please call 0481 897 620 or email hello@mosaiclifecare.org.au.
