Supporting someone else, especially in the context of mental health mentoring, creates a deep sense of purpose for the mentor. When a mentor helps guide someone through difficult emotional or mental challenges, they often feel a stronger connection to the person's journey and to the broader impact they’re making. This connection helps build a sense of fulfillment, knowing they’re making a positive difference in someone’s life.

This sense of purpose is not just about "helping others," but about fostering human connection, and in turn, the mentor feels less isolated, more valued, and more empowered. It’s a powerful reminder that mental health support goes both ways.
