Hi, Outlander & welcome @Mavrixx9
I just logged in & saw your tag outlander, thank you. Sounds like you are a very special person @Mavrixx9 , you will be a wonderful, Peer Support Worker, for sure. You certainly sound like a most empathetic, person to come through your own Mental Health Challenges to where you are today, & ready to give/help, others with all that you can, I would give you a hug if I could!
I can only suggest to you, as in the long run its really up to you, you have lived experience, & success, which is wonderful, the best MH workers are the ones that have lived/living it. Some MHS like to train their workers, GFS or NGFS, as I have worked for both, not at the same time.
The GFS sent me to Uni & paid for the training in Psychology, as a Mental Health Reasearch Worker. Which lead to my postion working for, After Care Services, NGFS & thats where I was offerd to apply for a job as a, Peer Support Worker.
I would imagine having a Degree in MHN would be a wonderful achievement for you & would help very much in the future as that would enable you to branch out at sometime should you want to, as once you get your foot in the door working as a MHW the sky is the limit, if you know what I mean. I really would have loved to had a degree MH Nursing if things had been different for me. I am very grateful that at least my dream of helping people after what I went through at that time, that I as able & well enough to do what I did . As it was cut short due to my accident, & the Chronic pain that I now have to live with on a daily basis.
GOOD LUCK!
Love & Hugs!
Bella XO 🙂
