brave the rage
London
I have over 20 years' experience (BSC (Hons) Sociology & Communication Studies)
regarding intervention and prevention of vulnerable families in the UK. I
trained as a Domestic Violence Crisis Counselor in New York and then progressed
to train in London as a qualified mediator. I quickly became involved in
community development; running large outreach programmes entitled "Life's Better
Together". This included homework and art clubs, summer sports camps in local
schools with volunteers and in partnership with Wandsworth Teenage Pregnancy
Unit to provide short, sharp, intensive training for teenage mothers. I then
moved into the youth offending world, coordinating Youth Inclusion Projects
(YIP) with large staff teams providing outreach services to excluded young
people and then strategic and operational co-ordination of Lambeth Youth
Council.
