Instructor Bio

At Mindspace Training we do Mental Health Differently. All our workshops and coaching are carried out by educated Lived-Experience facilitators, meaning when you work with us, you get the full experience of both evidence-based education, as well as engaging story-sharing from someone who's been through it and come out the other side.

Angela holds a Bachelor of Psychological Science and is part-way through her post-graduate studies after a study hiatus. She currently practices as a Qualified Mental Health Peer Worker for Veterans, whilst running her Canine Assisted Therapy Team. Angela previously volunteered as a Crisis Supporter at Lifeline, all while fostering dogs waiting to be adopted out.

ABOUT ANGELA'S LIVED EXPERIENCE
It feels like two lifetimes ago that I served in the Royal Australian Air Force, where I was medically discharged after years of mental health challenges. After seeing the stigma and hurdles that are yet to be overcome in both the military and broader society, this is where I found my little corner of the world – working within the preventative and early intervention areas of mental health.
I strongly believe if I had proper resilience education and training beyond the catchphrase, I would still have my military career today. There is no question about whether we will face challenges in life, what varies is how we handle it and continue to handle it. Resilience education really is the future of mental health prevention.

"As an educator and someone who has explored many resilience training programs, I have never seen a program as comprehensive, yet so easy to use. The PR6 makes sense. However, what stood out the most for me, is the ALL concept that RFA equipped me with to use in my professional and personal interactions. This is the first time I have actually 'used' the learning and tools obtained from a training course. The ALL concept is simple, it works..."

"This is the proactive preventative program I’ve been waiting for! It enables me to work more effectively in the space of resilience with myself and others, on a personal and professional level. As it has structured actions with applicable language examples and easy to follow modules. The pre- and post support is inclusive and encouraging and the course content and resources are of an exceptional high quality. I really enjoyed completing the course and I now feel more informed and confident engaging others in resilience talks. Thank you!

"The Resilience First Aid Responder Certification course enables us to hone our appreciation for ourselves and others, reaffirm experiential understanding of the power of listening, and honour humanity’s need and desire for positive connection. This course is the ideal fundamental for all seeking to strengthen their capacity to appreciate, listen and lift; and is the ideal refresher complement to the CReC and HART courses.
