your peer worker up north is Dave — based locally, walking it alongside you.
Hey 👋, I'm Dave. My approach is simple — meet you where you're at, give space for progress, and support you in a way that actually resonates. I draw from lived experience, but I won't project it onto you.
I support people with their mental health in practical ways — from day-to-day life support through to navigating more complex challenges — always focused on what you want to get out of life.
I've worked across peer support, subacute mental health, and workforce development (including with Wellways and programs linked to the Royal Melbourne Hospital). These days I'm part of Peer St, which I co-founded to provide more grounded, real-world support.
Happy to catch up for a no-pressure chat first.
Can support with things like:
- Daily life and routines
- Getting out into the community
- Building skills and confidence
- Psychosocial Recovery Coaching
- Support Coordination
