Mental health is a cause that is very close to my heart. In my previous role, I worked as a counsellor at a youth mental health organisation. In this role, I provided one-on-one counselling to young people aged 12-25 who were struggling with a range of mental health issues. I have also volunteered at a number of organisations that provide support to people with mental illness. I am confident that I have the necessary skills and experience for this role. I have a degree in Psychology and a Graduate Diploma in Counselling. I am also a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association. In my previous role, I was responsible for developing and delivering group programs, as well as conducting individual counselling sessions. I have a strong understanding of different therapy modalities and how to tailor interventions to meet the individual needs of clients. I am a highly motivated individual with a genuine interest in helping others. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of people with mental illness and their families. I am confident that I can be an asset to The Black Dog Institute and I look forward to contributing to the important work that you do. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely, Marija
