Peer support workers Andrea and Rachel explain what their role involves. If you are struggling with your mental health they have walked the journey before you and hope to offer reassurance that other people have felt the same way. In this podcast they discuss what resilience means to them. They have collated ideas from their team on resilience - such as sleep, engaging in new things and not OK is OK.
They talk about life being 'rollarcoastery' - they may have invented that word, but we all know what they mean - especially in covid times!
