I'm not sure if you know, but I was a regular forums member before I started working at SANE. I used these very forums for my own MH and found it so beneficial in my recovery. I later volunteered to be a Community Guide and whilst doing so, the call came out for Peer Workers to join the team, and that's exactly what I did 🙂 It was the best things EVER! And I'm still here.
I didn't know that, but I can completely relate to wanting to take it further, it's such a positive and supportive environment. What a great opportunity to come along for you. I'm not surprised you jumped at it! Like all of the peer workers here, it seems you were born for the role.
A friend of mine recently started studying a Cert IV in Mental Health online. It's gotten me thinking the past few weeks that maybe I should look into it myself. I feel like I want to do something in this area. I don't really have the interest to go back into IT if I had a choice. So it all of bit of a mystery for me at the moment as I know nothing about this at all apart from posting lots of overly lengthy replies. I find it helpful to finally have some sort of vague idea of a direction to look towards. Even just thinking about the future at all has been a big improvement for me.
