I'm a frontline worker in a homeless drop-in service in Scotland, as well as a harm reduction outreach worker and activist. I'm also completing a Masters in Clinical Psychology at [Scottish University] exploring compassion fatigue, burnout, and vicarious trauma in frontline staff in the homeless sector.
Research also focusses on trauma history, coping mechanisms, and resilience in homeless youth; factors affecting rates of homelessness in LGBTQ+ youth; drug addiction and harm reduction in marginalised populations; early prevention efforts for the spread of fentanyl in the UK.
