Kali is a Nursing student from the University of New England who attended camp in October 2017. Here Kali talks about her Recovery Camp experience.
I am a University of New England Nursing student (second year) and attended the Recovery Camp for my placement for 5 days in October 2017. The non-clinical setting allowed for conversations to flow and the team building activities encouraged rapport, confidence, and support. To say I am blown away is an understatement. I always thought I would pursue a career in Midwifery, but Recovery Camp has changed my mind and my life. The volunteers are the bravest, most open and wonderful human beings I have ever encountered. I have been telling everyone how whilst at Recovery Camp “I have found my people”. Never have I felt more passionate about Mental Health as I do now. I will be back and will continue to be as involved as much as I can, for Recovery Camp is the most rewarding and life-changing opportunity that challenges the stigma of Mental Illness I have been lucky enough to be a part of.
Recovery Camp acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
Recovery Camp welcomes all people irrespective of ethnicity, lifestyle choice, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
