Why am I doing this?
After years of working in the public health system, I saw countless young adults pass through ED, and return weeks to months later. This ignited a passion for early identification and intervention. I completed my Child and Adolescent Healthcare postgrad, and secured a job in high schools, where I get to work 1-on-1 with adolescents and promote health information on a whole-school level. I have learnt so much from the youth I work with and am grateful to get paid to do what I love ❤️
Additionally, managing a U16s AFL, and U12s Netball team, has given me the opportunity to build strong relationships with my players through comnection, advocacy, and health education.
20 hours of silence is going to be tough, but your support will help make it worth it! Thank you for taking the time to read, and for your incredibly generous donations and messages of support!
Just a reminder that you are deeply loved, valued, and never a burden. If things are feeling heavy or you just need a friendly ear, my door is always open and I am always here for a chat 💚
