Dear Janine~
It's good to welcome you here to the Support Forum. You certainly have a great deal of professional qualifications, however here it is your own personal lived experiences which can be of benefit.
This Forum is based on the idea that people share their mental health, suicide or other issues with others (see the link FORUMS at the of page for topics) who are in the same sort of circumstances. Here you can say what you personally experienced and what has helped - or not helped - hopefully while making progress towards recovery.
It is very much a mutual place where each may ask for assistance and learns from others. Although I've been here a long time I'm still learning from other's experiences matching my problems, together with courage, hope, and techniques from those I talk with. I try to offer the same in return.
I look forward to seeing you around
Croix
