Back to work with a Transitional Employment Placement @ LWN Hub

In Spring 2015, for the first time in my life, I began to show bipolar symptoms, but these seem only, looking back, to have affected me at certain times since then. To be frank, I had experienced OCD symptoms since I was a teenager, but had learned to live with them happily. Now, thanks to the Lambeth Home Treatment Team and especially Dr Larry Rifkin, I seem to be on a helpful mixture of tablets. It was Dr Rifkin who encouraged me to come to Mosaic Clubhouse, about which I knew nothing. Beverley will attest to the fact that I quickly got to enjoy coming to 65 Effra Road! I am very grateful to everyone for their friendliness and for the opportunity to help with various computer-related tasks in the B&A Unit. This gave me the chance to improve my computer skills...I am very happy to have helped, as I shall continue to do with some finance responsibilities too.

I wrote the foregoing in late February. It is now July! I am continuing to get on happily at The Living Well Network. The staff there are friendly and help each other in many ways. I am pleased to be part of such an impressive response to the needs of the very large number of people in Lambeth suffering from mental health problems. I feel fortunate to live now within the Borough of Lambeth, and hope other parts of Great Britain can learn from, and be inspired by, what is happening here.
