Recently, WATCH CEO, Julie Matthews, attended a Self Management and Peer Training workshop. She had this to say about her experience:
‘Last week I attended as a guest speaker our 16 week course in Sedgemoor via zoom. Funded by somerset county council this course helps health and wellbeing and being people together to form friendships and learn how to gain confidence and self resilience through learning new skills.
It was heartening to hear about the journey individuals are on and within a short space of time we had all connected as there was no stigma and a freedom to speak. No judgements, pure understanding. Peer support really does make a difference and it does help people see their own potential’.
