Skills
- Behavioural Emergencies
Through my own lived experience I have had a reasonable level of exposure to psychological and behavioural emergencies. This has guided me to have a growing interest in psychology. I see this as a rapidly expanding aspect of prehospital emergency work and believe that my experience and study in this area would be of benefit in a MH Co-responder situation.
