What William loves about working in mental health
“ Working in mental health allows me to make a meaningful and lasting difference in people’s lives, assisting them to navigate challenges and achieve their full potential and independence. The opportunity to build trusting relationships and witness personal growth and resilience in my clients is incredibly rewarding for me. This resonates with the words of Aristotle: virtuous giving to others requires friendship with oneself.”
