Ok, this is one of the most difficult things I've ever done, but here goes.

My name is Andy and I have been a Paramedic for the last 20 years. Over the last few years I have experienced poor mental health which cumulated in me planning my suicide back in October of last year.

Having turned that corner I have become very active in promoting mental health and wellbeing and would like to take that a stage further by becoming an i-act instructor for mental health and wellbeing.

Unfortunately the cost of the course is £2799 which is currently beyond my means, hence this profile.
