Building communities where all can thrive

Mentoring

We walk the journey alongside people, enabling them to turn their aspirations and goals into reality.

Our personalised mentoring service is designed to assist persons with disabilities take practical steps to develop the skills needed to overcome barriers and work toward living a more self-determined, rewarding and independent life in the community. 

Community Mentoring is about enabling others to grow into their potential. 

Whatever the dream, we’ll help find a way. Whatever the challenge, we believe there’s a solution.

“Not all people are fully included in the life of their community. So, Interactionz facilitates opportunities for marginalised people to explore and experience lives that have meaning to them. Our social enterprise now offers Mentoring, Training and Visualisation Services that contribute to building communities where all can thrive.”


Lynda Millington, Chief Executive
