Nature | Relationships | Service

“I use my passion for the outdoors to build relationships. Watching a sunset, taking a hike or paddling a canoe with a new friend. I enjoy seizing opportunities to enrich one’s life with community service. Utilizing the PassageWays has allowed me to be a mentor to the young people here at Passage. New relationships start with a small connection and grow from there. When you find the balance of all the elements you can find joy and happiness.”

“I spend one on one time with many of our Riverside kids. I hope to bring happiness and a bit of joy to every outing.”

“These elements give me agency to manage my personal wellness.”

    

QUOTE

“The people who experience mental health struggles and their loved ones experience a certain sense of hopelessness when it comes to their ability to function and thrive in the future. Hope is the grounded belief that things will get better and that the person struggling has agency over their well-being.”
