Unwinding after a demanding dayhttps://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging

How do you unwind after a demanding day? The first thing I need to express is that given I no longer work in mental health, I no longer regularly have demanding days. I like that as a writer, I can work at my own pace and don’t have to rush to meet deadlines or others’Continue reading “Unwinding after a demanding dayhttps://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging”

Having my voice heard.https://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow. The best decision I made in my life was to use my experience of mental health issues to help others experiencing the same.  Definitely, studying welfare studies gave me the right qualifications to do so.
