In this episode I speak with Claire, who in addition to completing her social work studies also has a degree in Indigenous Studies. Claire started her work in child protection with Indigenous families and then progressed to community and inpatient mental health. Claire has had personal and professional experiences working closely with mental health and now works with people experiencing acute illness.
