My name is Jason Harris. I am 41 years old. I currently work as a peer support worker and peer tutor. I really enjoy the work that i do, aswell as meeting new people. Having been in a similar situation and knowing how hard it can be to talk or reach out to others, it's nice to be able to offer a glimmer of hope and encouragement.
