S.M.


I have been working with various mental health services for as long as I can remember. The process has never been easy. Over the years, I have worked with a number of key workers, clinicians, and psychotherapists. Living with my mental health challenges has been extremely difficult, particularly as my needs are complex, and I have often felt that I was not easy to support.
