Everyone's mental health journey looks different, but having someone who's walked a similar path by your side is what makes peer support so special 🫶
Meet Kathryn, one of our amazing Consumer Peer Workers in Ipswich, Queensland.
Having experienced mental health challenges from a young age, she knows what it's like to feel as though you're carrying it all on your own.
After going through some incredibly dark periods, Kathryn came to realise that what helped most wasn't having all the answers. It was finding empathy and understanding. Not only from others, but from herself.
Today, Kathryn uses her lived and living experience to support people experiencing similar mental health challenges as a Consumer Peer Worker.
She listens without judgement, shares her story when it can help, and creates a space where the people feel truly heard and accepted for who they are.
