Nikki Schackwitz

Nikki has over ten years’ experience in mental health and wellbeing, peer support and digital service development and management, particularly with young people and adolescents.

This includes frontline experience of working within inpatient care in the mental health sector as well as case work and safeguarding experience.

As an open member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Nikki is passionate about advocating for those who struggle to have their voices heard, particularly from underrepresented communities. 

Nikki says: "I have joined the Guardian Service because I'm passionate about empowering people to take the next right step for their unique situation. I understand the importance of having a listening ear and safe space to share - I believe this is a privilege to create and hold for those I work with."
