About
Hi, my name is Mel, Tell us why you would make a great Hero. My focus is caring, empathy and compassion and working with people in a collaborative way. I won't be telling you what to do, my approach is person-led in that I will help you move toward what you want to do in the way that you want to. I have been working nearly 7 years as a support worker and some people I have worked with for more than 5 years. Tell us how you will share one of your skills or hobbies to help someone in our community. I would like to do anything the person, that I'm working with, wants to do that day I will be led by them. I can do things like baking, cake decorating and cooking. I'm happy to go on adventures like swimming at the beach or expos etc. I have training and TAFE certificates in mental health, I have a passion for reducing stigma in mental health. I don't believe that mental health challenges are a barrier to living a life that is meaningful. I also volunteer at a safe space on weekends. What is a quote that inspires you? Feel the fear and do it anyway!
