Election post
As a Psychology student with plans to go into clinical psychology/therapy, I am passionate about mental health and well-being! I completed a Level 2 Counselling Qualification with AIM, meaning I have specific listening skills to support people who are struggling, and used this training to support my role as a Student Wellbeing Advisor at college. This means I have experience in high-pressure environments and have developed strong interpersonal skills (such as empathy and effective communication). I have basic First Aid training, but am happy to complete higher levels of training. I also worked at a primary school and received safeguarding training for two years, and I have a DBS certificate, meaning that I am informed about matters of confidentiality and how to handle sensitive reports.
If I got this position, I would like to introduce voluntary surveys to monitor how Yoga Society helps to improve people's welfare and what we could do to improve.
