2 days left Thats all I have left of my job, before I don't have a job!! But I am not upset or anything cos I have had a good 8 years of that job with my cousin and dad. So now I will either have to get another job or go back to college. I think I will be going back to college to either do Childcare (but not sure legally where I stand with my section 136's on my CRB form) but I will have to wait and see if I can apply to do this course in September....there is a psychology course that I want to do but got to wait and see if I have to pay....I don't mind paying but if its too expensive I can't afford it.
I would like to do the psychology course so I can become a counsellor/psychologist for the MH services as I will have a better understanding of mental health than a person who hasnt got MH issues.
I will ask my keyworker to find out if the CRB will be clear of any sections.

… I am sorry about your job but I think your goals are great!!!! Your MH shouldnt be an issue in becoming a counsellor as long as you are well and have your illness under control. Thats the advice I have been given from GPs and Psychiatrists and Therapists. So dont let that stand in your way. This could be a whole new chapter I think you have great plans!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Re: 2 days left yeah if anything your experiences of MH will probably work in your favour they did for me sorry to hear about your job but that's an excellent idea. wish you all the best!! xxx

Re: 2 days left Well....I am not exactly a lady of leisure just yet!!! as the main contract still wants me to do the monthly report for January, so I have that to do before I finally become a lady of leisure lol
I am still keeping my options open on what to do next but I think the counselling and psychology is the route I am taking but I want to do my Maths and English first to get higher grades in them.

Re: 2 days left ruth's right your education plans are very good, i know up in scotland we can do futher and higher education courses where you pick what you want to do from a list and normally counselling and psychology are in as well as maths and english but nore sure of the protocol elsewhere.
