Excerpt:
A lot of my work prior to joining Traverse has focused on unpicking difficult issues around delivering services to “vulnerable” and “hard-to-reach” people. I’ve played host to, and participated in, many emotional discussions with traumatized and exhausted people (myself included) about the systems that have traumatized/exhausted them (with a general focus on how to make things better). This was usually in the sectors of social care and mental health and involved working with service users and a wide range of professionals – from front-line support workers through to multiple levels of charities, local authorities and policy makers.
We’re all busy so I’m going to keep this brief.
