Jack Grimson
Mentor
Hello there, I’m Jack!
Since a young age I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, ADHD, autism, and depression. It has been my passion for gaming that has helped me through these tough times growing up, and allowed me to learn a great deal about how to cope as a result. I believe this gives me great understanding and empathy towards young people who are struggling.
I am experienced working with SEN young people and I have qualifications within counselling, which have allowed me to further expand my understanding of mental health and wellbeing. Earning various mental health qualifications and skills throughout my college years, I vowed to use my own personal experiences to help others that suffered like I did.
I am fully DBS checked and have completed my safeguard training.
My hobbies include: Skipping, Gardening, Cooking/Baking, YouTube, Movies, and Star Wars!
Gaming interests vary from Horrors, Survivals, MMO’s, to FPS’s.
I think it’s very important to give the children of our generation support, and to be there to help them gain confidence in themselves for the future ahead. Working with MindJam I am excited and enthusiastic to be a part of making that become a reality.
