Janet Culpepper is 24 and is a beauty therapist. She works at Cariton Care home part time and in people’s homes the rest of the week, fitting it around her childcare responsibilities. The father of Janet’s child has remained a mystery to all of Cariton as she went through a mental health crisis leading up to the pregnacy and had lots of unsafe sex. When she discovered she was pregnant she went to live with her sister and father so they could nurse her back to full mental health. Beauty therapy has been a positive focus in her life.
