鈥淲hen you work with people who really need you, whether because they have been abused or they don鈥檛 have parents or that traditional family support structure, when they end up in hospital with mental health needs, it is the only support they may have,鈥� David explained. 鈥淢y work fulfils me every day, I really love it. I鈥檓 working, studying and I鈥檓 helping people. I couldn鈥檛 ask for anything more.鈥�
