Hey,
I guess I kind of see it as people like us that have go e through what we have tend to be more sensitive to other around use and open and willing to help other as being able to relate to there situations. I hear a lot of people say I remember how I felt at the lowest point and I was all alone And would like to be there when other are at there low. I think service change because of people like us in the social sector. Personally I'm 6 months off my social work degree I'm going into child protection just because I tryed older people And disability service and for me I got bored the. Went to child protection and to me I was doing the work I thought I would doing as a social worker! I think the thing is to use our own experience to enhance our practice, I would never share my experiences with a service user but being about to understand and relate better will enable me to provide better support. Sorry going on xx
