Along with being a psychologist specialising in child and family mental health, Mr Mayers also serves as a Patron and Trustee for the Samaritans of Bournemouth and District and Patron for Dorset Mind. Additionally, he also works closely with the Dorset Health Care University NHS Foundation Trust on the Dorset Police mental health street triage.
