Aspiring Mental Health Careers – January 2024
Posted on 29th January 2024
In January, for the fourth consecutive year, the Talent Academy successfully held its ‘Aspiring Mental Health Careers’ event. This free online event provided young people aged 15- 20 years, living or educated in Lincolnshire the opportunity to hear from our colleagues working at Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation NHS Trust. Experts working in the fields of Counselling, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, Psychology, and Social work delivered talks providing insight into their area of work and sharing stories about their career paths.
Attendees learnt about the diverse roles within each career and asked questions to speakers who all work in a role that makes a positive difference to people’s mental health and wellbeing.
