Thankyou @AuntGlow yeah I’ve just completed the IPS short course and now I’m about to start doing the cert iv in mental health course at uni on February next year
part of me feels I’d like to continue on with volunteering in crisis support mainly just to gain some experience, especially long term. But then on the other hand, you have supervisors that are obviously gonna tell you things you need to do that you don’t fundamentally agree with and aren’t comfortable with doing…
EDIT: off topic but I wish my mum can go to jail. or at the very least…accept that she can NOT talk to me ever again especially when I’ve already requested her not to. Just cause I’m her biological kid doesn’t mean she shouldn’t accept the fact that I don’t wish to ever connect/reconnect with her at any shape or form
EDIT 2: also got a message from the supervisor yesterday saying this: “I'm just not sure based on everything you have shared [my name] this is the best path for you to go down - I don't want you to continue to do something you inherently disagree with the practice on and seems to be somewhat detrimental to your wellbeing - there may be other means to getting into peer work we can look into, but I'm not entirely sure if crisis support is in your best interests based on our discussions but you may feel differently on that.

So good! I think you will enjoy the certificate a lot. It's very practical and person-centred. @Blackcloud
I hear you with this... I think everything we do in life will naturally have some light and dark/positive and negative moments. What feels most expansive and aligned for you is what matters.
What are your thoughts after the message from your supervisor? 💛
