Mel truly listens, offers insightful guidance and approaches every situation with kindness and understanding. Whether it was navigating anxiety, working through a child's grief, or simply needing a listening ear, the girls could trust that they would be comforted with mental health support, provided with the tools to thrive, delivered with compassion and empathy. She was absolutely my go-to for any mental health related support on our team."
