Hi, I’m Trys
I was diagnosed with Agoraphobia, OCD, Depression and Anxiety when I was just 12 and left school at 13. I remember at 13 feeling a huge relief that I didn't have to attend school anymore but it wasn't good for me in the long term. I didn't go out or socialize and my Agoraphobia got worse. I self isolated for over 10 years, only going out if I was accompanied.
A trip to Australia to look after my sick Grandparents was a turning point in my life. I decided I wanted to emigrate to the other side of the world and start a new life in Australia. I was so determined to achieve this goal, I started working on myself, and constantly pushing myself to go out.
After a 9 year journey of recovery I got the opportunity to come to Australia on a 2 year visa and studied for a Diploma in Community Services. Since then I have worked non stop in the community sector, Employment Services and for the last 5 years as a Mental Health awareness instructor.
I'm excited about the future of online courses and we will be uploading more courses in the coming months.
