Celebrating an exceptional Volunteer - from the COMPASS Relapse Prevention Program

Mandy Smith is a volunteer and co-facilitator of our COMPASS (Relapse Prevention Program) at the Mission Australia Centre in Surry Hills.

Mandy graduated with a Diploma of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and now utilises her skills to share her expertise and experience to help improve the lives of our clients. She helps clients stay off drugs by providing strategies to steer away from triggers and old habits, while building greater self awareness and self-confidence.

Mandy finds inspiration in her COMPASS program clients - and sees their honesty, determination, strength and hope as "an inspiring gift".

Mandy commends the staff at the Mission Australia Centre for the proactive, professional and friendly environment they provide for her and her clients.

While Mandy values the contributions of her clients as a "gift", Mandy herself is a truly dedicated and inspiring volunteer for the COMPASS program and Mission Australia.

Thank you Mandy!
