My name is Heidi Barnett and I am a Registered Comprehensive Nurse.
I am passionate about people becoming resilient and thriving in a world that comes with increasing complexities. Having worked in mental health for more than 25 years across all age groups, I frequently observed broken relationships contributing to deterioration in mental health. Early intervention, by helping parents develop positive relationship with their children and reflecting and understanding different ways children learn, is a significant contributor to a person to being able to thrive and learn how to have healthy relationships.
I have a background in working with families having worked in Child and Adolescent mental health, Youth Forensics and Maternal Mental health. I have training in Acute Stress/Severe Trauma solution focused therapy, Circle of Security and Triple P Parenting.
I currently work at Fresh Minds within the Triple P Positive Parenting Programme. I enjoy empowering parents to navigate the challenges that parenting brings. Focusing on how they can build positive relationships with their children while helping their children learn and develop skills required.
I have 2 children aged 19 and 21. I also enjoy walking my dog and exploring nature.
Languages spoken: English.
