Featured volunteer: Debbie Morrill Debbie volunteers her time to co-facilitate the weekly high school age teen group and the young adult peer group. Soon after moving into our Colorado Springs building, I knew I wanted to create a group, a support system, for young people. Groups that would be inclusive, judgment-free and compassionate.
I asked Debbie, a person I’ve known since 2006, if she’d like to join me in this adventure. Her answer was a resounding yes.
I have many years experience in working with youth (starting in 1995/1996), as well as, running groups for different ages (including youth). I knew with Debbie’s lengthy and similar experience she would jump in and we could/would create these groups together. It has been quite the journey! Ups, downs and sideways.
I am grateful for Debbie as a friend and co-facilitator.
I asked Debbie to write an article on her own healing journey.
