Kim is a Mental Health Support Worker for GROW Australia. She has been with GROW for 2 years and in that time have been integral in facilitating and developing the GET GROWING program for schools. She first came to GROW in 2011 as a member seeking support. She has lived with bi-polar for most of her adult life. Her learning through GROW has driven her to help others, by sharing her own lived experience and growth, as well as the hope that GROW offers through the program and the community of people within it.  The youth program is very important to her as early intervention is the key to promoting good mental health and wellness in our society.
