My goal was to continue volunteering for Overcome for a year. And I have been given the opportunity to do this. Now I am able to further refine the skills I have learned and continue to see new clients. I am excited to continue this role part time as I seek to continue my studies with a masters in mental health. I am eager to be able to apply the knowledge I will gain from my studies to my role in Overcome.

I really enjoy that the co-founders aren't shy to ask a lot of us but will also take time to work/meet directly with us. This ensures the maximum improvement, and I felt very confident in my growth and skills thanks to that. And of course, I loved the kinds of people I ended up working with as co-interns: really great folks!

My time at Overcome was incredibly rewarding, both personally and professionally. Working closely with individuals through their mental health struggles, I saw firsthand the impact of offering compassionate care. The most fulfilling part was witnessing clients make positive changes and knowing that my support played a role in their progress.
