The Link Foundation AOD was founded by Paula and Renee, women who shared a passion for the AOD and mental health sectors. They noticed that most service providers focused solely on substance users or their families, but not both. However, research has demonstrated that involving families and communities in recovery improves outcomes. The Link Foundation AOD was established to address this gap and offer all-encompassing therapy, training, advocacy and support to anyone impacted by substance use.

Counsellor
As a seasoned professional with over 25 years of experience in law enforcement and education, I bring knowledge and expertise to my current role as a counsellor. I am deeply committed to the principles of harm reduction and strongly believe in the importance of providing support to individuals and families who struggle with substance misuse.
My mission is to empower individuals within the community by providing education programs that equip them with the tools they need to cope with the challenges they face. As a Counsellor and educator, I am passionate about positively impacting the lives of those around me. I know first-hand how hard this can be as my brother is alcohol dependent; no matter how bad it gets, I will still stay connected and support him during his recovery. I know first-hand that substance misuse does not discriminate. It impacts many families, with alcohol still being the number one substance of misuse.
