Glady has been working in the mental health and disability sector for over 15 years. During this time she worked in residential, outreach and group services within non profit community organisations.
Glady has a lived experience of disability and mental health issues, both as a carer and as someone who has experienced the many challenges of navigating work, life and the community while managing support needs and stigma attached to this.
Glady and Co began through a lack of support being provided in the Eastern suburbs, the lack of disability and psychosocial-specific services available, and a need to fully support staff who identify as having lived experience.
At Glady and Co we believe that having a strong community and safe space without stigma is the most important part of being supported and living a quality life. That awareness and full understanding comes from life experience and the ability to see the strength that comes from the journey.
