What had been a side hustle has expanded dramatically! In the last two years, I've helped people in Australia, India, the US and Canada fulfill their dream of publishing a book to tell their personal story, offer helpful direction to others, highlight social issues, or elevate their brand. My own first book focuses on five essential community-based mental health supports: meaning, belonging, purpose, value and hope. I'm available to speak, including remotely, to professional and lay audiences.

"Not Quite Fine" will encourage you to know that you are already skilled to provide five key mental health supports--Meaning, Belonging, Purpose, Value, and Hope--and to see some of the ways you can share these with your communities. Based on many years of volunteer work and lived experience. (Herald Press: 2021)
