Volunteer Spotlight: Meet Trina, a Beacon of Hope
In the heart of Edmonton, one volunteer stands out for her exceptional dedication and kindness. Meet Trina, whose journey with Prospect has been nothing short of inspirational. Trina's passion for helping others shines brightly, fueled by her own experiences and challenges.
From Personal Struggle to Supporting Others
Trina's commitment to helping others stems from her personal journey. Facing PTSD from a traumatic event in her teenage years, she has turned her struggle into strength. "I've learned how to cope and now aim to support others to do the same," she shares. This transformation from facing personal challenges to supporting others is what makes Trina's contribution to Prospect so invaluable.
A Heart for Listening
What sets Trina apart is her patience, her ability to listen, and her deep care for the well-being of others. These qualities make her an irreplaceable part of the Prospect family. "Getting to know my clients and hearing that they look forward to our next meeting is incredibly rewarding," Trina reflects. It’s clear she doesn’t just volunteer; she forms meaningful connections.
Gaining More Than Just Experience
Through her time with Prospect, Trina has gained invaluable skills and experiences. But for her, the real gain is the privilege of assisting her clients in overcoming their barriers and paving the way to a positive, happy future. Trina's story is a powerful reminder of the impact one individual can make in the lives of many.
A Lifelong Mission
Trina believes in the power of support, especially when it comes to mental health and recovery. Her experience with Prospect has bolstered her confidence and ability to assist others professionally, particularly in her current role in addictions support. "I am a people person," Trina says. "Supporting others who need it the most has always been my calling."
