Eventually I discovered the role of a Peer Specialist, who uses her own experience in battling mental illness to help others and spur changes in systems that discriminate against her. I was later attracted to the role at Singapore Association for Mental Health because they also wanted me to help them set up a new youth center. The promise of that challenge was wonderful and led me to take the position when I had also been considering a post as a caseworker with another non-profit organization.
