Welcome
My name is Rachael. I am a qualified mental health worker, passionate about helping people through transitions and challenges in their life. It was my own journey to parenthood and lived experiences that guided the development of my small business and is why I do what I do. Here to Hear Australia was created to support the mental health and wellbeing of people that are trying to have a family, are about to have a family and those that have a young family.
No-one should feel alone
Especially if they are facing fertility challenges, during a difficult pregnancy, having a baby in Neonatal Unit, managing a young family without family support or being stressed during their parenting journey.
Experience
I have been working with families and individuals helping them to improve their mental health and wellbeing through one to one appointments, at peer support groups in perinatal mental health services, and cot side in hospital neonatal units.
Isolation and loneliness can contribute to a decrease in mental wellness, especially when the road to parenthood and transition to being a parent is different to what we expect. Having social and emotional support are important factors contributing to how a new parent adjusts to the changes that come with bringing home a new baby. To know there is someone that can be there to walk along side you, can make all the difference.
