Caseload of 10–12 adults transitioning out of inpatient psychiatric care. Split roughly 50/50 between case management (treatment planning, coordination with psychiatrists and inpatient teams) and execution (1-on-1 counselling, accompanied exposure work, daily-living support). Casework spanned acute suicidal ideation, auditory hallucinations, eating-related psychotic experiences, and DBT-informed work with emotional dysregulation and self-injury.

Cymra produces pharmaceutical-grade product for patients under the Special Access Scheme — a field with growing evidence behind it for chronic pain, anxiety, and epilepsy, and one that sits close to my social work background.
