Supporting Trevor, a motivated, well-travelled, and deeply appreciative person, has been an incredibly rewarding experience for Kylie, a dedicated Support Worker at Interchange WA for the past 6 years. Through their time together, Kylie has come to understand that resilience comes in many forms, and that strength often shows up in quiet, determined ways.
Trevor approaches life with optimism and purpose. His stories of global adventures and his career as a chemical engineer have broadened Kylie’s perspective, offering her a glimpse into a world rich with experience and insight.
“Supporting and learning from him has opened my eyes to the wider world inspiring me to live each day the best we can.”
With no family nearby, Trevor relies on the support and consistency of those around him. This has shown Kylie just how vital connection, trust, and reliability are in support work, and how everything she does leaves an impact.
“It’s been humbling to see how much even small gestures of support or simply showing with an upbeat attitude can mean to someone.”
Trevor’s gratitude has made her more mindful of the impact of her role, not just professionally, but personally as well. Through their connection, Kylie has gained more than she ever expected: wisdom, laughter (plenty of it!), and a renewed appreciation for different perspectives. It’s been a powerful reminder of the value of listening with an open heart and mind, and the importance of kindness and human connection in every aspect of life.
