As May comes to an end, so does Mental Health Awareness Month. We want to highlight the rewarding careers available in mental healthcare and social care. At Cygnet, you can join us as a mental health nurse or as a support worker/healthcare assistant. These roles involve various duties, such as engaging with patients and service users, participating in therapy sessions, and maintaining records. While nurses need specific qualifications, support workers need care experience, a DBS check, and ideally an NVQ level 2 or 3 in health and social care. There are ample opportunities for career development and specialisation in areas such as psychology, eating disorders, or substance misuse. Working in mental health requires resilience, empathy, and effective communication skills. It can be demanding but also highly rewarding. If you're passionate about making a difference, consider a career in mental health with us here at Cygnet.

Last year, Channel 5 aired a documentary titled "Anorexic" that followed the stories of three young women, including Emily, who were at different stages of treatment for an eating disorder. The documentary showed Emily being discharged from Cygnet Hospital Ealing, just a few weeks before starting university. As part of 'Eating Disorder Week' which was highlighted earlier this month, we caught up with Emily and her mum to learn about their experience with Cygnet Hospital Ealing and how life has been for them since Emily's discharge. Watch and listen to this powerful story below.
