Studying welfare studies

The best decision I ever made was in my late twenties when I decided to use my experience with mental health issues to help others with similar experiences by working in welfare. This course was so empowering, and I learned so much.  It opened doors to my career and gave me a solid qualification for the work I did later in peer support in mental health.   It helped me to grow as a person,  increasing my knowledge and helping my empathy and compassion for people to grow.  I learned not only about mental health but also about other aspects of welfare, like child protection, gambling, and drug and alcohol abuse.   I became a better and far wiser person, having gained all that knowledge.   I definitely put everything I learned in this course to good use in my career in mental health.
