I'm a psychology student currently but multiple years experience in support work (very happy to send CV & ref's). I'm incredibly passionate about supporting autistic young people particularly and boosting their confidence to manage mental health issues. I particularly saw a range of differing mental health issues whilst working at a CAHMS inpatient ward in Oxford; as a Young Person Healthcare Assistant allocated to particular case teams, I was that young person’s advocate and supported their care plan by having 1:1 sessions with them each week. I also have experience as a support worker at a SEN school for children with autism and severe learning disabilities. I also have multiple training qualifications from my healthcare assistant job, such as having completed a Dialectical Behavioural Therapy course and studied for months to complete a CBT-e training programme. I am also a very empathetic, reliable, caring individual who is keen to encourage young people's personalities and skills to flourish. Working in mental health is my chosen purpose.
