I have worked in HR within North West agencies for 10 years, since 2015 at Mando in Liverpool as HR and Wellbeing Lead. I also worked as a volunteer Counsellor with Childline and Shout the Crisis Text line. In 2018 I reduced my hours with Mando, as I had retrained as an MHFA England instructor and wanted to deliver adult and youth mental health training to prevent (or at least minimise) poor mental health. I am also a trainer for Drinkaware, Burnt Cheft Project and Chasing the Stigma
Working in both an agency and as a trainer means that I have immense empath in the training room for Managers and Staff (being both myself) and also can bring my wellbeing knowledge into Mando to support the wellbeing of the team
I am delighted to be a member of the BIMA Wellbeing Committee, helping to raise awareness around both positive and poor mental health and to support the BIMA community
BIMA member since 25th November 2019
