Summary
Over the last 35 years I have gained a great deal of experience in the field of Mental health and Substance misuse in all the range of Services and roles I have been employed in. This has been accumulated in both a managerial capacity and a face to face role dealing with individuals and groups thru counselling and therapy based interactions.
Although I acknowledge a lapse in this knowledge over the last 6 years that I have been absent from the field. I feel I have a great deal to offer and will work upon getting up to speed on changes that have occurred and current Local and Government guidelines.
