Meet Tammy
"I really struggled with how to cope with the loss of my dear Dad, and also becoming the main carer for my mum. The support I'd been offered by the mental health nurse I was referred to was really poor. The Mental Health First Aid course has given me so much more than the understanding I was after. I've come out with an incredible new support team that I can say anything to and not feel judged, realising that I’m certainly not alone. It’s also given me a wakeup call to how my grief and struggles impacted my husband – having someone to talk to without having to feel guilty for expressing his difficulties/frustrations would’ve helped him. Being a carer for someone, whether it’s short or long time can be both physically and emotionally draining - talking to someone who won’t judge you and can maybe help you make sense of what you’re feeling can literally turn your day around."
