Hi, I am a Mental Health First Aider and Sessional Worker in the Co-Production Team. I am Sandgrown and have lived in Blackpool most of my life. I have been a single parent. I believe Co-Production and working with Stakeholders in our community is so important. Our lived experience practioners give a valuable contribution to our wider society and contribute to the messages that people in Blackpool receive. The peer support we offer is so important to show parents and families with SEND children and mental health issues, as well as people experience the highs and lows of life; that they are not alone.
