In Work Support Hassan- In Work Lead [insert picture] Project: In Work Support What I do: Provide support and advocacy to both employees, and their employers, in contexts where the employee is experiencing mental health issues and/ or stress, and the person requires assistance to successfully retain jobs, return to work from sick leave in a safe and supportive way, and to also resolve work issues in a collaborative way. I have worked for the Trust since February 2006, and have always enjoyed observing participants moving on in a positive and meaningful way in the workplace. Outside of work: Socialising, reading and music.

Outside of work: I enjoy playing the guitar, and I’m an absolute sci-fi nerd. I also have a fondness for animals and recently adopted a stray cat called Bean who I adore. Lan- In Work Research Project: In Work Support What I do: I am the coordinator for the new London Work Resource Project which will be looking at career progression for people with lived experiences of mental health. The aim of the project is to research the barriers they face, develop strategies and encourage employers to promote from within and take an active role in employee health and wellbeing. Outside of work: I am an avid cyclist so in my spare time, I don my outfit and join the lycra brigade sprinting around London. When I’m not on my bike, I love to read, go for hikes and look after my house plants which can be losing battle.
