Helen has continued to respond to local need and will support myself in navigating a service response to crisis incidents. Helen continues through her support to value the team and the CYPA affected by such tragic loss by been present and offering her time, by providing encouragement to those at such a loss, by taking time to smile and ask “how someone is”, to ask questions and listen well to what is been relayed, and will always offer to help by assisting or teaching others. May I also share that this is also the same for her colleagues , Helen is seen as a role model within the service and will share progress with colleagues and link her accomplishments to a larger purpose recognising and appreciating her peers.
