About Me

April 24th, 2011

Originally I began studying medicine and have always maintained my interest in health matters. Later I qualified in social work, and have worked in the adult mental health sector for more than 20 years in Adelaide, South Australia. I am endlessly interested in people and optimistic about their capacity to change.

I have written these articles primarily for professional staff, but I think most members of the public will find them interesting and readable. Many consumers and relatives will find hope, where they had none, so I encourage you to tell them of this site.
