JEN

Peer Supporter and Project Lead

Both connection and creativity have been a vital role in supporting my own wellbeing. I've learnt that meaningful connections, no matter how small, can have the greatest impact on our wellbeing, and they can be found absolutely anywhere - not just with the people who love and care about you, but in the places you'd least expect to find them, like at the bus stop with a stranger, someone on the end of a phone, or with that friend you see once every few years... those moments!

Creativity opens a whole world of possibilities and comes in so many forms. Not only does it slow things down, and brings your thoughts back to the present, but I love how it allows your inner child to come out and play. Yes, I agree, perfectionism has to go right out the window, but when you've finished something, recognising that every misspelling, wobbly line and cracked piece of pottery is yours, makes it a masterpiece in its own right!

Personal Interests:

food / nature / yarn

TRICIA

Group Facilitator

I have been part of the LHOH team for about six months, and during that time it has been great to see people become more open and friendships beginning to happen in a safe and accepting environment.

The creativity in the group always impresses me, everyone is willing to give new things a go.

Personal interests:

reading / gardening / interior design
