Meet Suzanne Fuzzard, Occupational and Family Therapist, and Churchill Fellow from South Australia who is deeply committed to improving mental health support for young people.
Recently, Suzanne embarked on a Churchill Fellowship journey across Canada, the USA, Italy, and the UK to explore innovative approaches to youth mental health care. Her focus? Ensuring young people receive therapy as soon as they seek help, avoiding long wait times that can worsen outcomes.
Suzanne’s latest report, “Single Session Thinking,” highlights a groundbreaking model that provides immediate support to young people at their first presentation. With her findings, Suzanne aims to revolutionize mental health services, especially in regional and rural areas where access can be limited.
