Mental Health Assistant Qualifications.

About.

... on 10 Dec 2017 i've received a course completion diploma.

Course was aimed for mentally ill people, so we can professionally support other mentally ill people by sharing experiences at mental health institutions & related.

... in my case it's mostly a role of psychologist's assistant ... i think it's unwise for me to support/help others on my own - so please do not expect too much from me, please do not abuse my good will.

... not sure about others - i do not understand their means, knowledge, experiences, qualifications, etc.


     

- a Diploma, in a Polish Language. -



... after this course, there was internship - i tried, but failed - so i didn't get certificate, have 'only' a diploma.

... it wasn't so easy anyway.


a Gift.

... i got a nice gift on a course completion day as well.

A postcard with Buddha's Statue image, with an inspiring motto on the back:




In English Language:
'Spirit with Matter is a Good Life'.

In Polish Language:
'Połączenie ducha z materią daje dobre życie'.





My Experiences, My Qualifications.

... i have experiences related with depression/mania, psychosis & paranoidal schizophrenia.

... sometimes one illness leads to another, not neccessarily worse one.

... sometimes 'borders' between one illness and another illness are 'blurred'.


My advice, not promising anything:

... most of people, or perhaps even everyone - including people without diagnosis - suffer many symptoms, of various ills - more or less severe.

... when one can handle real life, there's no need to go to psychologist, psychiatrist, hospital, etc.

... sometimes, however - it's worth to consult a psychologist earlier, to avoid worse problems later ... or other 'support people', either medical personnel or not.

... distance & criticism to one's own ills is important tool for staying 'sane', away from hospitals, psychiatrists, psychologists, etc ... at least in case of schizophrenia, perhaps psychosis as well - not sure about other illnessess.


My current work.

Currently i work as Physical Security Specialist at Juwentus Security, in Poland.

... i think it's a nice work for me, nice experience to have, so i prefer to keep this work - for a longer while, at least.

Serving people as a Mental Health Assistant is - at this moment, at least - too challenging burden for me.

... i've tried to complete Mental Health Assistant's Internship and get Certificate, but failed - so i know.

... work-wise, i have no better idea for now than being a Physical Security Specialist.

... i plan to return to 'Computer Sciences' or 'Cyber Security' or 'Software Engineering' at about year 2022 - but i do not know if i'll succeed.

... i have about 4-5 years of professional experience as more or less: 'Java Programmer - Analyst', creating and maintaining 'Internet Applications' for business needs.

... focus on 'business needs' meant - among other things - that Art was unappreciated, unimportant, expense - expense reduced to minimum - or it seemed so to me.
