My role as a mental health worker does not include the provision of therapy. I will listen and offer support that is respectful, non-critical and non-judgemental.

My aim is to provide support that is complimentary to and working collaboratively with health teams and community services. This includes researching information, liaison with clinicians, supporting self-advocacy and attending appointments with the consumer to assist them in understanding the information provided.

I will use my lived experience of mental health issues and recovery to provide support to individuals and families by being a role model of wellness and recovery. I aim to support them in a way that promotes empowerment, independence and nurturing hope.
