Kim has worked in the Victorian community mental health NFP sector for over 35 years which included helping to establish the first Australian Clubhouse program in Melbourne, back in 1991. Kim is a strong supporter of the clubhouse program ethos and of the need for clubhouse type programs. Kim believes that an individual’s mental health will improve when they feel included, useful, needed, and valued; and that rebuilding self-esteem/motivation and confidence, requires active participation and partnerships in esteem building activity.
