She speaks about Achieving Post-Traumatic Growth – a blueprint for overcoming crisis and tragic loss. Her lived experience and capacity to go through and overcome tragedy, has led her to becoming even stronger and more resilient showing others how to become unshakeable….. unbreakable…….and unstoppable…….. when suffering tragedy.

The Community Lunch group was honoured to have Helen as our Guest Speaker. We found her to be an excellent speaker; very bright and engaging. She spoke passionately about Second Chances SA, the cause so close to her heart. She was totally interesting and many people wanted to contribute to the Donation box after her speech, to help the children of prisoners.
Personally, I felt humbled by the way she could conduct herself so positively after having been through such devastating circumstances over these last few years.
My best wishes for all her future endeavours.

Helen is an enthusiastic engaging speaker. She grabs your attention from her first sentence! Her knowledge of her subjects will keep you enthralled and gathering information you didn’t know you needed or that it existed. No ‘ifs or buts’, no ‘er’ or ‘mm’. The stories Helen tells just flow on and touch your heart and your wallet and you will remember her and the causes she cares for, for a long time.
