Hi Stephen H

A great cause that so many people, if not everyone in some way or another, can benefit from! Have you done any work in this space? Feel free to share your story and anything you are working on!

Hi Stephen H

What have you been up to in the past year?

Myself, I have been a champ for a little while now, still a little green around the ears but I'm learning lots and hopefully reaching people!

Hi Tay, Thank you for asking. I have had terrible anxiety and been in hospital twice. Other than that I have been working in my business, I am a mental health first aid instructor. Do you mind telling me what a community champion is? I hope you are having an awesome day. Stephen

Hi Guest_0371

What does being a mental health instructor involve? It sounds interesting.

A community champion is a forum volunteer that provide peer support, social connections and general insight to people on the forums. We help people make the most of the forum, engage with the community and help direct them to other Beyond Blue or external resources too. Hope that helps!
