Fay Jackson

Please see Fays ‘Profile Page’ for information about her. It is far too long and impressive to list here. Fay has been awarded Principal Master Trainer Status, Mental Health First Aid. Last year Fay was awarded the inaugural MHFA Champion Award. She has won many other awards for her work including the Australian Meritorious Service to Community Award, Australian Rotary Health Research Fund. Fay’s favourite sayings are “Well that’s the way I remember it!”, “what’s normal anyway? What does a normal gum tree look like?”, “I’m not crazy, I am a Psychologically Diverse Citizen”, “A life lived in fear is a life half lived”, “Make your mark but don’t leave a stain”, “Why try to fit in when you were born to stand out?”, “George I’ve done something to the computer (fax machine, printer, phone, car etc)”. Fay has many positive attributes but technology is not one of them. And “oh can I tell you something funny”.

George Stinson

George Stinson

George Stinson has the precarious job of keeping the IT viruses, worms, wolves and glitches at bay. He ensures communications are running smoothly and offers the male perspective to the company. (A very brave man indeed). Georges favourite saying after one of us has done something to the computers again “Geeeeze, look, let me sit down so I can see what you’ve done” and “now that’s a good inscription for your head stone” or “and that is why I killed her your honour” which is always said quietly under his breath as he walks away from Fay’s computer.

Ellie Stinson

Ellie Stinson

Ellie Stinson is business advisor and has the dubious task of teaching Fay to keep track of her money matters, receipts, invoices etc and is frequently heard to say “No Fay the ash tray of the car is not where we store our receipts” and “anyone want a drink, because I surely need one” ( only at the end of the day, we are obviously a highly professional team).

”It was a real honour to have you as our guest speaker at our recent staff forum Refresh, Renew, Reframe. Your performance was nothing short of brilliant and all present found you to be extraordinarily funny and entertaining. You showed an outstanding ability to humanise your experiences as a consumer in such a delightful, entertaining yet still sensitive manner. You certainly helped to de-stigmatise and raise the profile of Mental Health consumers. You are quite an inspiration and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to to others.”
