Debbie Stevens

Almost twenty years ago, inspired by individuals struggling with mental health, Debbie chose to embark on a career in health and social welfare. Throughout her studies at the Open University, she focused on mental health and end-of-life care, dedicating herself to these overlooked areas, choosing to work in community-based positions that offered the chance to focus on support at a more personalised level. Debbie currently writes on diverse topics, such as the funeral sector and has written for non-profit organizations while travelling in her converted ex-military Land Rover ambulance.
