I believe that everyone deserves the best quality of life and to able to achieve their confidence and independence. Being deaf, I have a great understanding about deaf culture and issues. Currently I have two part-time jobs as a child mental health worker and occupational therapist assistant for the Deaf in-patient psychiatric unit for children and adolescents aged 5 to 18 who are experiencing mental health difficulties and/or emotional and behavioural problems. I’m currently undertaking Family Therapy course which is useful for my role and keen to complete training to be a qualified family therapist. Studying this course has given my an understanding about family dynamics and attachment issues as well as learning about different inventions of questioning.
