HI, I am Mel, And i have had my own personal battles of mental health, it all started when I was mining in WA which went on for quite some time. I know now firsthand how lonely and isolating it can get. And when I thought I was out of that black hole it came back when my daughter was 1yo, so the journey started again. All these battles have made me a stronger and more resilient person I am today. I am now very passionate about MH and being a lived experience peer worker, I can offer understanding empathy and compassion to people and let them express their experiences, and to have their voices Heard which is the most empowering experience you can offer someone.
