MARCH ALREADY!
We started the year off with a bang at Woven Threads, with 5 episodes to complete in the Mental Health series - Stories from Within. It was straight into the animation studio to begin production from early January.
Our latest episode tells the story of Emma, who is a peer worker (lived experience mental health worker), peer trainer and assessor and peer supervisor. Emma discovered peer workers when she was admitted onto a mental health ward as young woman, having just completed her social work degree. She realised there and then that when she was doing better she would make a great peer worker and has achieved a lot more than that.
