In this episode of Riverland Women, Kerrie Lush speaks with Suzi Evans from Mantung — a passionate advocate for mental fitness.
After the devastating loss of her only son to suicide, and supporting her husband Mick through a life-threatening illness, Suzi found purpose in helping others. She shares how studying positive psychology, training in mental health first aid, and developing her own program, Workbench for the Mind, became tools for both her own healing and for supporting her community.
Suzi opens up about:
Navigating grief and trauma
Supporting a loved one through illness
How mental fitness differs from mental health
Simple strategies to build resilience every day
The importance of accessible tools between "zero to psychologist"
Her story is one of strength, determination, and finding purpose after tragedy.
