Instructor Bio

Rob established ‘I Am Mentally Fit’ to reduce stigma and increase capability, building Mental Fitness awareness through education, coaching and support.

Drawing on over 20 years in digital media, advertising and education, Rob works with companies, community groups and individuals to build their resilience capability and improve mental health outcomes.

Using a powerful blend of storytelling, drawing on his lived experience, and evidence-based theory, Rob creates trust and connection to help equip people with the tools they need to be mentally fit.

In 2018, after a difficult marriage breakdown, Rob sought connection through his first 'Men's Group', a gathering in the Gold Coast of men ranging from 30's to 70's with a varied mix of 'issues' that they were looking to process. This experience was cathartic and he has continued to work with a variety of different Men's Groups, in different roles from attendee, to speaker and facilitator.

As Rob’s purpose in Mental Health continued to grow, he pursued study across a range of mental health areas - OCD, General/Health/Social Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, CBT for Mindfulness (This Way Up Clinic) as well as, Suicide Prevention Training (Wesley Mission). Additionally, Rob became an accredited Mental Health First Aider, followed by qualifying as an Instructor to deliver Mental Health First Aid 2-day training courses face-to-face or on-line.

Rob is a highly experienced facilitator driven by a sense of purpose in the power of proactive mental fitness to support people in being prepared for the challenges of life. I Am Mentally Fit provides accredited solutions and tailored group based or individual coaching to build resilience.

"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.
