Ann

Child and Family Partner
Panellists have generously contributed to our CPD webinars. Please note that they are not employed by MHPN, and we are unable to contact them or provide referrals on your behalf. Please do not send us patient details.

Ann is married with five adult children, one of whom has a disability.

l am a lived experience person having been diagnosed with PTSD, BPD, and anxiety disorder.

l grew up in a household experiencing domestic violence and I suffered physical, sexual, and emotional abuse for many years. l have witnessed some of my children develop mental health issues and have had to navigate the mental health system for them and myself. I believe that there is a lot lacking in the mental health system and that we need to advocate for change.

I have worked as a lived experience person for FaPMI, Eastern health and was on the lived experience forum for COPMI. l have done webinars and talks on lived experience and how mental health becomes intergenerational. I feel I have a lot to offer the mental health sector.

Ann has presented on the following MHPN activities:
