What a great conversation starter. One of the most common false beliefs we have is that the people who look like they have it all together are not struggling. Everyone struggles to greater or lesser degrees at various points of their life, if not every day. Reaching out for help is the first step towards freedom.

Expressions of interest:

Having been a counsellor, trainer, and supervisor for many years I would like to share some of the experience I have gained.

In 2026 I am considering offering monthly pastoral care training face-to-face (Dandenong area) and/or online. A mix of presentations by myself or another trainer on a range of mental health topics, suited to pastoral care workers or anyone interested in supporting others.

Low cost ($15-$25) a session. 2 hours. Once a month (attend as you are able).

I would be interested to hear whether this is something people would find helpful. Accessible to any denomination or background.

Let me know in the comments or PM me!

My daughter has been living with Type 1 for a number of years now. She's also an artist. As part of her uni project she has written a book about Type 1. Maybe you'd like to get behind her, and share! It's a unique and interesting way to raise awareness. Thanks for checking it out :)

Life will bring challenges and unexpected events, but those alone don’t define you.
What shapes you is how you respond: the choices you make, how you adapt, and the growth you pursue.
True strength isn’t about avoiding hardship, it’s about using it as a stepping stone to become wiser and stronger.

2 full days of su***de prevention PD coming up. A difficult but very important topic to address.

I've travelled many cities in the world, but Melbourne will always be home. :)
