Meet Mayami Al-Mandawi,

Peer Support

About Me

I am a compassionate and dedicated professional committed to empowering individuals as they work toward recovery, personal growth, and greater independence. As a Certified Peer Support Specialist, youth support professional, and Interpreter Supervisor, I am passionate about helping individuals and families feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment.

My professional experience includes peer support, youth mental health, behavioral health interpretation, interpreter supervision, and community services. I support individuals as they navigate challenges, develop life skills, build confidence, and work toward their personal goals. I value building trusting relationships, promoting self-advocacy, and providing culturally responsive, recovery-oriented support that recognizes each person’s unique experiences, needs, and strengths.

I bring strong leadership, communication, active listening, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills to my work. In my supervisory role, I value teamwork, professionalism, clear communication, and effective coordination to help ensure quality interpretation services. I approach every responsibility with empathy, patience, accountability, and respect.

Alongside my professional work, I have pursued studies in psychology, science, and justice, and I am continuing my education in Criminal Justice and Sociology. I am committed to lifelong learning and expanding my knowledge to better serve individuals, youth, families, and my community.

My Mission

To empower people to recognize their strengths, build confidence, overcome barriers, and move toward a healthier, safer, and more fulfilling future. I believe everyone deserves compassion, dignity, and the opportunity to grow.

“Every person has a story, every person has strengths, and everyone deserves the opportunity to grow.”
