Healthy Mind | Happy Me


​
Welcome,
​
My name is Charlene, the creator of Healthy Mind | Happy Me.
​


About me...
I qualified as a Social Worker in 2015, initially working in Safeguarding children and families. I then moved onto a specialist contextual safeguarding team for adolescents until 2021. During this time I worked with many young people who have faced trauma or adverse life experiences.
​
Since 2022, I have worked in primary care/ the NHS as a safeguarding lead for children and adults. From my experience over the years, I have worked with many young people who have faced struggles with their mental health, with many having their well-being unsupported for a number of reasons.
I am incredibly passionate about supporting young people and often in my view there can be a lack of support or time limited support offered for those individuals. These reasons have inspired me to develop 'Healthy Mind Happy Me'. In an attempt to raise awareness of young peoples mental health and make support easily accessible for those in need.
​
I have gained various qualifications pre and post my Social Work Degree- please see below some of my qualifications. I have experience in supporting children and young people with various needs such as anxiety, emotional well being, bullying, body confidence, self esteem, relationship/friendship issues, social skills and school issues.
I have further developed my knowledge and recently completed a diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and life coaching please see details below.
