 Heather’s activism draws on her ongoing recovery from bipolar and childhood sexual abuse; after losing a decade in the psychiatric system, failing to get a degree and hold down paid work, Heather decided to use her lived experience to become a peer facilitator. 

 Heather is Wellness Recovery Action Plan Facilitator accredited by the Copeland Centre.

 Currently, she facilitates bibliotherapy sessions in NHS inpatient and community settings - using stories, poems, comics and myths to support her peers in defining their struggles and making a recovery. 

 

Heather has never met a hopeless case. She would like you to know that whether recovered or not, you have more to offer the world than you might think.'
