Russell

Lived Experience Advocate, Vic

Russell has lived with schizophrenia for over 20 years. He is constantly working on a path to self-improvement and recovery. He is married with two children and working full time.

He has had a couple of roles as a peer support worker in the past and contributed to speaking engagements within schools, universities and other working groups. He believes one of the most important things in psychiatric care is understanding the person prior to illness and that wellness is not just treatment of symptoms.

Russell has presented on the following MHPN activities:
