Instructor Profile

I am employed by Canefields Clubhouse Beenleigh Inc. Meadowbrook QLD as a Mental Health Rehabilitation Facilitator for the last 3 and a half years. I undertook a diploma of Community Services and whilst on placement with Canefields Clubhouse I secured permanent full-time employment. I have a natural affinity for people and especially for people who are disadvantaged and mental health being one of them. It was while I was on placement with Canefields Clubhouse that I discovered a very empowering and positive model of Social psychiatric rehabilitation that fully involved the individual on their journey to recovery that made me decide I wanted to expand my career into mental health – the clubhouse model is perfect and is such a rewarding outcome for people who suffer form severe and persistent mental illness that I realised this was the correct service to be involved with. To date, i have delivered the standard Mental Health First Aid course to approx 3oo+ participants.
