Over the past 15 years, Iโve worked across community mental health, suicide prevention, and peer-designed systems - as a practitioner, senior manager, carer, and advocate.
My approach to Peer Work supervision is shaped by both professional practice and personal experience - caregiving, suicide bereavement, migration, and recovery from trauma. These experiences taught me that reflective spaces arenโt luxuries; theyโre essential for sustaining peer work and protecting the heart that fuels it.
