Aims and Objectives

My name is Peter Munn and I am 52 years old a very varied range of life experiences.

My working life began as a police cadet/constable and my pathway took me through working in toxicology, teaching with young people and social services in a remand home. I also worked with the elderly as an instructor for a residential home and day centre.

I first encountered mental health difficulties in 1979 and have worked extensively in mental health for the last 15 years. I aim to give something back to a system that has given me both good and bad experiences. I now desire to share with you some of those experiences with the clear aim of improving, developing and delivering an improved service for all who may encounter problems in the future.
