I love these new video resources by @ACONhealth on how to compassionately respond to disclosures of sexual violence, and how to support loved ones. It was great to have been a part of the consultative process with other amazing lived experience advocates. sayitoutloud.org.au/friends-…

Proud to have been one of the lived experience experts consulted for this report. It really sheds light on how many people are effected by eating disorders in Australia and just what it can cost for some.

Just found out that I missed out on the next round of PhD scholarships due to one of my twenty minor supporting documents uploading incorrectly. Bureaucracy will be the death of me.

Isn't it weird that a whole bunch of us millennials were just sitting around watching Law and Order: SVU as kids?

Did anyone else make friends with one or two people in every single 'clique' at school thinking 'I can get along with anyone' - only to realise later on, you likely had just befriended all the neurodivergent people in your grade?

Have I spent two days writing and re-writing the same two paragraphs? Yes. Yes I have.

I often wish my parents had given me a more Māori name - but when stuff like this comes out, I am reminded that having an 'English-sounding' name has likely benefited me in many situations, which is kind of sad.

For those of you who are neurodivergent/struggle with chronic mental illness and have completed a PhD - what types of support systems or strategies did you use or do you recommend having in place to protect/maintain/build health and wellbeing whilst doing a PhD?

The @NEDC_Australia is developing a National Eating Disorders Strategy. This survey is to help inform its development and is open to anyone who has lived with an ED or cared for someone with an ED. s.nedc.com.au/publicsurvey

The Butterfly Collective is a @Bfoundation platform that is connecting people with lived experiences of #eatingdisorders with opportunities for consultation, advocacy, research, co-design and so on. If you're interested, you can join here: butterfly.org.au/collective/

This month, I'm getting active to fundraise for youth mental health services. Every donation counts (be it $5 or $50). ALSO, TODAY ONLY! Donations (under $500) will be matched by an (anonymous) donor to the limit of $30,000. @ReachOut_AUS Donate here: makeamove.com.au/fundraisers…

I thought I was beyond being invested in social media scandals and yet, here we are.

Hi all, looking for an Aboriginal woman with lived experience of incarceration to do a paid consultation to inform research about reproductive healthcare for women in prisons. Check the flyer below for more information if you are interested.

A public holiday to mourn the Queen? Even though the queen already has an annual holiday, there's still no public holiday that acknowledges the Indigenous history and peoples of this land and Australia Day remains on January 26th (the actual Day of Mourning). Priorities, amirite?
