The journey of managing psychosocial disability presents significant challenges for both the individual affected and their carer. Overcoming the enduring stigma associated with mental health adds further complexity to this task. Celia Jordaan understands these challenges well as a carer for a young LGBTQIA+ adult on their recovery journey. Leveraging her extensive experience within the not-for-profit sector and drawing from her own personal encounters, Celia aims to contribute meaningfully to areas such as strategy development, risk management, and providing essential support where necessary.
