My name is Laura Gale, lets start with a bit about me!
- I am currently on the Foundation Pathway programme and I have a conditional offer for September to study Forensic psychology. I am on the psychology route of the programme. I am also the rep for my course!
- I am very passionate about helping other and spreading awareness, as well as being a student I am also a care assistant in the community. I love my job so much, knowing I am making a difference to peoples lives makes me happy. I have a lot of experience not just with my own health but with families too.
- These are the reasons I would love this role; it would mean so much to me to know I am making a difference within something I am so passionate about. These are some of these reasons I would love this opportunity, I have a lot of ideas that are only possible if you vote!
My ideas-
- Any feedback is fully recognised and heard. Ensure students are fully aware we are doing something about their feedback and introduce a meeting every month for student feedback and mental health awareness on a regular basis, more consistency the better.
- There will be nominated people who will be available to have a chat on certain days of the week to help reduce loneliness and feeling isolated and to make friends too! This is so important! Not just phone calls but chats too, to get everyone involved a big part of this is to make sure people are comfortable. Promote feeling positive, every Friday there should be somewhere all students can post 1 thing they achieved that week and 1 goal for next week.
- Mental health awareness training, more resources being sent out to all students. Training being completed so everyone is educated on it and we are all able to give support to our peers.
I am enthusiastic to make a start, but I need your votes!!!
