Peer Worker

​

The first day that I came into a Take Off group, I was accompanied by a support worker. I was struggling with social anxiety, depression and grief. Leaving the house, speaking to people, both felt like terrifying tasks.

 

Today, I’ve been taken on as a Peer Support worker.

 

I’m hoping to use my personal experiences and interest in mental health to help others.

 

I studied Digital Culture, Arts, Media and Computing at Canterbury Christ Church University.

 

My interests that help me with my mental and physical health are painting miniatures, photography and exercise.
