Working in the care industry stemmed from a desire to understand mental health better. I wanted to develop my understanding of what mental health was and how it affected people in different circumstances and settings.
Tanaka as a part of the team
I heard about Nurseline, did my research, and found the perfect gateway to understanding mental health better as it is an organization that introduced me to different clients, families, professionals, and many other stakeholders, all of whom had a story to tell and an experience to learn from directly.
You feel like you’re a part of a wider family separate from your own. The people you meet at Nurseline, whether it’s the coordinators, fellow support workers, trainers, etc., make you feel like everyone has your back and can contribute to making the wider healthcare community a better working environment, as well as a better environment for those we support.
I believe the impact I’m making or have been making is giving peace of mind to the families of the people we support, ensuring that their loved ones are heard and supported, but most importantly, treated as humans who deserve a good quality of life.
