thats amazing. you have been through so much and you are trying to use your experiences for the benefit of others. that is very brave and very healthy. i dont know what programs are available in canada, but im sure there have to be support groups at local community centers or such places that would love someone like you to come and join their groups and talk to their members. i think, if you still driven by this as you get older, that you should consider psychology or counseling of some sort because you are naturally prone to helping people and that's great and you can make a real difference in someone's life. good luck!

The best way you can help others is by helping yourself.

Well, If you are in school, try to start a community for your wishes.

You can volunteer in hospitals, become a mentor (for high school students), visit shelters where people are placed because they have been abused, or you can start your own support group/network.

Check with your local hospital to find a bereavement group. You have a lot to share with people who are experiencing loss. Also hospice sometimes needs volunteers to sit with someone who is receiving hospice care for a few hours. You could be a comfort to the dying person as well as the family.
Check with your local senior citizens center. You could help deliver meals on wheels and cheer people as you deliver.
Have you thought about volunteering at the hospital to visit patients who need some comfort?

Well grief counseling sounds like what your looking for. You can secure some counseling positions with an AA in psychology or related field of study most want a BA though. You can become a licensed mental health counselor with your MA.

As for now you can get immediate experience and find if this is really what you want to go to school for by working as a Peer Assistant or Case Manager Assistant in various organizations like a battered womens shelter, homeless shelter, mental health agency, or as a mental health technician in a local hospital. Check your area's local resources and see what opportunities are in your area that best relate to your interests.

It makes great sense to me. Keep your eyes and ears open. Stay positive. You will attract people who seek your advice and will use your example as hope to get through hard times. You can make a great leader for others. Keep searching for ways to build your dreams. You will be amazed at the things that you attract. I wish you the best! Don't let anyone take away your dreams. Get started. Be a leader now. You don't have to be great to get started, you just have to get started to be great.
BEST WISHES!

P.S. Don't worry, you will find that the way to get started will come naturally.
