I am a second year student at the University of Bristol looking to participate in some volunteer opportunities in the mental health domain to expand my knowledge outside my studies and apply the knowledge and skills I am learning for good. I have a great interest in going into the health sector of psychology and i think i would greatly benefit from some first hand experience in helping individuals. I have gained experience from gaining a credit in sixth-form as a mental health ambassador, taking part in a 8 week program equipping me to be able to deal with students wanting to seek help and guiding them to the correct resources. I also feel much experience has come from my part-time job i currently work alongside my degree. I work part-time at a family owned restaurant chain 'aqua' as a waitress for the past year, using my communication skills everyday in customer interaction and building relationships with regulars. A favorite regular of mine is mentally challenged and usually comes in for a chat at the weekend at the bar, i understand the importance to have a support system or someone to talk to from this. Furthermore currently i am working on a project with mental health consultancy agency 'attune' about creating greater connectiveness between their clinicians, creating an accessible and safe place to share further ideas and interventions on how to improve care for clients in the music and entertainment industry. I am very passionate about my work for this company through them representing such a diverse range of clients and clinical professionals, accounting for varied aspects of mental well-being.
