I have a deep commitment to fostering a supportive environment for individuals, caregivers and their wider family, especially during their most vulnerable times.

This vision emphasises the importance of community, compassion, and understanding by committing to the following strategies:

Advocacy: Championing policies that promote mental health care access and support systems. Engaging with community groups and organisations to raise awareness about the importance of access to quality care and feeling supported.

Connection: Encouraging and developing initiatives that bring people together, such as community gatherings, workshops, and supportive groups. Building relationships to help create a culture of support to enhance wellbeing for all.

Storytelling: Sharing stories of resilience and hope, allowing others to see that they are not alone in their struggles helps normalise conversations about hardship and healing.

Training and Education: Provide training for individuals on resilient coping skills, taking control of your healthcare journey, how to support friends and loved ones effectively, emphasising listening and empathy.

Resource Sharing: Providing a space to explore resources for those in need of support, including connecting people to existing services and organisations, as well as offering coaching services, community workshops and events.
