Stella Despinidis, Australia, Sydney

I started volunteering in my teens and have worked in service provision with people for over 35 years. I have a BA, Dance, MA Child & Adolescence, have had the privilege of meeting people across the lifespan and always been fascinated with how the body and mind interact. My roles have included community development, aging, mental health, child protection, homelessness, disability, CALD communities, LGBTQIA+ youth and wellbeing. In my current position, I work with children 0-5 where I support Early Childhood Educators, parents and the community. I am passionate about people living their best lives and strongly believe that there is always scope to change.
