Following my final week with Samaritans it’s safe to say it’s been an experience.<\/p>\n

I will keep this entry short and sweet as my last (rather long) one got deleted when I tried to publish it, which was frustrating!<\/p>\n

My final week has consisted of collaborating my survey responses, interviews and research into a written report for my supervisor. Though I have learned a lot during my time here I unfortunately did not have as many survey respondents as I would have liked, so drawing any meaningful conclusions has been rather difficult. However, I’ve done my best to work with what I have.<\/p>\n

It’s been a privilege to work with Samaritans and I look forward very much to undergoing my own training to become a listening volunteer in the autumn, and soon after taking calls. Every Samaritan I’ve met so far has been a wonderful person, and I can only hope to become half of what they are now.<\/p>\n

My focus now will turn to the stigma surrounding mental health. I hope to address this both within and outside of my professional career, especially through events such as Mental Health Awareness Week.<\/p>\n

Working with Samaritans has helped me to realise that my career aspirations are now directed towards mental health, and I hope to follow this through next year in my BSc in Neuroscience in Mental Health!\"MHAW_RGB\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
