Annie

Background:

When Annie started at Hillcroft, travelling from Norwich to SW London was an enormous step as previous life experiences had severely knocked her confidence. Working with tutors and the support of her peers Annie developed a learning plan that included developing both her assertiveness and skills for workplace re-entry. Annie has undertaken part time employment as a Creative Arts Tutor and contributes to students learning experience by introducing new diverse and modern learning activities such as Song writing, Relaxation and the opportunity to experiment with music – singing and percussion.

Annie says:

"My study has rebuilt my confidence. My achievements and the respect I have gained completed my recovery from depression. I have learnt to manage and motivate myself, recognise my strengths, work on my weaknesses, enjoy the inspiration of studying and develop skills to progress."
