Elke Wooderson, Redress Support Program Counsellor, The Buttery, will moderate the panel.

NJ sees peer work as an essential it as tool we can use to flatten the power within these structures, as it helps us all find ways to reframe the negative stereotypes on distress and anger as hope and positive friction. On top of her living expertise in navigating and surviving the clinical system, she loves to be in the outside, in the water, or connecting with other outsiders in the community through her music.
