Hi Everyone!
I’m the new Health Education Officer with Pozhet and will be here 3 days per week (usually Tues, Wed, Thurs).
Some of you may remember I worked for Pozhet a few years ago and left when I moved to country NSW (Lismore). I’m back in Sydney now and very happy to be here.
Over the years I’ve worked for ACON and ASHM, NAPWA and Positive Life in Health Promotion, and been involved in HIV services for the last 15 years. I’ve also worked in education, care and support with people with physical and intellectual disabilities, in aged care, women’s health, drug health, and been an English teacher to international students. I’m interested in health from a whole-person perspective – body, mind, emotions, psyche, spirit.
I will be working on the Pozhet Annual Workshop coming up in November, Pozhet’s contribution to World AIDS Day, a new resource about Serodiscordance (pos-neg relationships) as well as educating other HIV organisations about heterosexual issues, client support and anything else I can get my hands on!
I attended the Pozhet/ACON Women’s Day last Saturday and it was a great experience to talk with a large group of amazing women about health, sexuality, treatments, disclosure and other interesting topics.
I look forward to meeting you at one of our events soon, and am always be happy to talk on the phone (freecall 1800 812 404) or you can email me at pozhet@pozhet.org.au
