Melanie Rodgers

Hello and blessings! I’m Melanie Rodgers, excited to embark on my journey as a Peer Support Specialist. With 20 years of experience in education as a teacher’s assistant and Youth Transition Program Specialist, I’m eager to bring my skills to this new role.

I am passionate about supporting individuals of all ages, both individually and in groups, to enhance their social and emotional well-being. My mission is to offer hope and help clients envision a meaningful life. I aim to empower others by recognizing their strengths and guiding them on their path to recovery with empathy and a non-judgmental approach.

I have recently earned my certification as a Peer Support Specialist from Rogue Community College, and hold additional certifications in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Person-Centered Plan Facilitation, and Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (NVCI).

Outside of work, I cherish time with my husband, three adult children, and six grandchildren. I am actively involved in my church’s leadership team and contribute to Purely His ministry. My personal experiences and beliefs deeply influence my commitment to supporting others with compassion and understanding.

I look forward to building meaningful connections and creating an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Together, we can work towards healing, growth, and a brighter future.
