Did you grow up with a parent who had a mental illness? If so, then you will take a lot out of this episode with Mental Health Advocate Addy Dunkley-Smith.

Addy is involved in a Victorian organisation called The Satellite Foundation who work with children, young people and their families where a parent has a mental illness. Addy contributes regularly as a peer facilitator, as a program consultant and in sharing her lived experience. In her past, she has competed at several world championships on the Australian National Rowing Team. Addy goes right into detail about her work and research in this field as well as she is currently studying for her doctorate in clinical psychology. We also go right into detail about our own experiences on this topic and what we hope changes for the future.

I would love to hear from you! It also helps if you leave me a rating or share this content to help get the message out there.
