About Deborah
I have personal experiences with looking after family members with mental health and elderly parents. This gives me the understanding of the difficulty that clients, carers and family members face in order to be heard and to receive the help they need within the community.
My motivation for working at TLC is to be helping clients with mental health challenges and being able to work within an organisation that puts the client’s needs first. It is so rewarding for me to help clients achieve their goals and see their satisfaction when they have succeeded, whether it is helping set a routine or practicing all the steps of cooking a meal.
I am focused on continued learning and improving my knowledge about mental health using a holistic approach and working within the NDIS framework.
