MOHAMMAD SOHAIL

In this role I help a licensed mental health therapist who is also a support group leader, co-facilitate certain mental health groups that he leads, such as "coping with depression" and "coping with anxiety". I offer him helpful and creative suggestions to incorporate into the groups as well as help plan group activities. For example I came up with the idea that at the beginning of certain support groups, we have something called a "popcorn session", which is basically where we go around the room and give each group member the space to talk for a few moments about how they are doing presently, how their week or day has gone so far, anything new in their life, or anything they wish to comment on or bring to the table in general. They know when they have their time to speak, the floor is theirs and their time will be respected and honored. It is called a "popcorn session" because similar to popcorn popping in a microwave, group members are able to "go back and forth" and support one another and resonate with one another as well as bounce suggestions, comments, and ideas, off each other's experiences and stories.

• In this role, I help my mother manage a daycare program that she runs from our home. I supervise the children as needed, warm up their meals, engage them in mentally and emotionally stimulating activities such as do puzzles or boardgames with them, take them outside to play/to the park, and just overall help maintain a loving and nurturing environment for them to grow and thrive in.

When I worked in this role, I would prepare various food, coffee, and beverage items for customers in a professional and timely manner, as well as show polite and respectful customer service skills to help the customers feel welcomed and at ease both in my presence and in our store in general and to deliver them the best experience possible.
