'It felt like a version of The Walking Dead. The streets were empty, and the air was silent, I didn’t think I was alive. I can’t explain how scared I was”
Nurse Jess was going about her everyday routine, walking back to her car after a late shift at work. Then she heard a voice behind her - the last thing she remembers before blacking out. She had been physically assaulted and knocked unconscious.
Not only was Jess’ home a strange place, she woke up to the heartbreaking news that her partner had died while she was in the coma. Jess was ‘left alone in an alien world’ - and her mental health soon started spiralling down. And in the peak of the pandemic, she couldn’t get the support she needed. But then, Jess met Penny Maughan, a trainee advanced clinical practitioner. Jess didn’t know it at the time but Penny would ‘bring her back from the brink’.
“A little thing that made a massive difference was how she explained what support each organisation or professional could offer and how it would help me. She showed real compassion. “The only reason I’m not dead is because of Penny and the Living Life Well Neighbourhood Mental Health Team.”
