Summary
During my years of experience working with youths with Mental Health Challenges and Disability, ranging from ages 4-16, I have enjoyed providing individualised support and day-to-day assistance to them, therapeutically acting
as an experienced support worker with a strong background in mental health and disability support; with hopes of getting these young persons reunited with their families but in a broader sense improve their overall well-being, and I have done this while exhibiting excellent work ethic. I seek to work in an environment
where my skills and experience would be utilized to advance organisational goals with career advancement prospects. I can represent the company or agency of employment with professionalism, courtesy, and compassion to clients, families, advocates, providers, and the public.
