Mental Health Support Worker

Mental health support workers play a crucial role in helping people who are experiencing mental health difficulties. They provide practical and emotional support to individuals in hospitals, residential care settings, or in the community. Their work may involve helping service users with daily living tasks, supporting them to attend appointments, and encouraging their independence. Support workers also work closely with healthcare professionals such as nurses, social workers, and psychologists to ensure the best outcomes for those in their care. The job requires patience, empathy, good communication skills, and resilience, as it can sometimes be challenging but also highly rewarding.
