PCS member Melanie explains how her rep has helped her. (https://www.pcs.org.uk/who-we-are/members-stories/how-my-pcs-rep-helped-me-secure-my-promotion)

“Suffering with mental health issues can make you suffer low self-esteem, and at this time I felt like a was a huge burden on the department. I felt like my name was being recognised by senior leaders for all the wrong reasons. Steven (my rep) helped me overcome that, by pointing out I had worked within the civil service for 18 years prior without any issues, so this was clearly not the case. That one small sentence from him, made a massive difference to how I viewed myself and the situation.”
