Why Renee?

I have spent extensive time developing and implementing mental health initiatives both within schools and across communities as a Chair and Co-Founder for a Community Mental Health Action Team.  I have developed processes that are both effective and sustainable and can help you achieve success when implementing change.  I want you to benefit from the lessons I have learnt through my experiences, successes and sometimes failures.  I want to see us start to make a real difference to the mental health statistics and start saving lives.

In addition to that I:

• Am an Ambassador for the Australian & New Zealand Mental Health Association
• Have worked in Education for over 20 years with leadership roles in mental health and wellbeing & student behaviour
• Have presented at a variety of Mental Health Conferences across Australia including the Rural & Regional Mental Health Symposium & the Mental Health Services Conference.
• I have helped many schools implement Mental Health and Behaviour iniatives effectively
• I have developed a Community approach to mental health that has been utilised across local regions as a model of success.
• I have worked with the Mental Health Commssion,Local Govt and Community Action Team to create a Community  Wellbeing Plan.

I am passionate about the difference we can make in the space of mental health.  I want to help you have the success I have achieved so that you can start making a real difference too!
