Good for you!

I volunteer as a mediator at my support group. I also attend a dementia ward in a hospital. I actually started as a visitor to a patient and began helping out and spending time with other patients during these visits. I now go weekly volunteering as a companion to patients and assist on the ward performing light duties.

It gives me a sense of contributing. It also has been great in building up my ability to manage my anxiety and work towards the goal of one day returning to work.
