Hello there, my name is Phil. I have been a Community Worker since 2013. I started supporting people with Mental Health (MH) issues and then moved on to supporting people with Disabilities. I am now one of the Coordinators for Disability Services (DIS) for a large NFP/NGO Organisation in South Australia. Prior to transitioning from MH to DIS, I had to face my own MH after having a major Mental breakdown from everything in my life. I went missing for three months at least. Never informed work, certain friends and certain family. I thought I would never recover. I finally went and saw someone for help, which wasn't easy. However, still today I am becoming more and more aware of who I am and how to live with Depression and Anxiety. Because of this I decided to write my story of trauma and abuse, drugs and alcohol, love and loss. All
which led to the depression and anxiety. I also write articles that are base on my opinions, or maybe a random thought.

Phil you Amazing man you. I applaud you navigating through your grief. You have the tools to grasp your dreams with both hands buddy.
It takes someone so strong to be so vulnerable.
I wish you well in your journey bub…. this is your year to shine.
And I am here for you if you shall ever need, in any way that I can 🙂
