“For Kate, working with the Lake Macquarie & Newcastle Suicide Prevention Network isn't a job; it's a calling. Living with Type 2 Bipolar and in recovery from alcohol addiction, she understands the fight. And she fights alongside others, passionately connecting with those grappling with mental health challenges. Kate's journey is a powerful reminder that out of the darkest moments, hope ignites, and we can rise to live full, vibrant lives.”
