| Liz leads the Buddy Scheme team, overseeing
both the mental health and learning disabilities programmes. Prior
to joining Lifestyles, Liz has been working in the mental health field
for 10 years, managing two day centres for working age adults with
severe and enduring mental health problems in the Stroud and Cirencester
areas. She also holds a City and Guilds certificate in community mental
health care. Liz believes in opening doors for people with disabilities,
and their carers, providing them with the opportunities to realise
their potential,ambitions, desires and raising their horizons and
hopefully as people go through the doors, barriers and discrimination
will lessen. |

mental health problems. She has personal experience with learning
disabilities, having family members who are autistic and have dyspraxia
and dyslexia so she can empathise and knows just how hard things can
be.

2008. |
