"My focus is always on creating a space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make their own decisions for better mental health"

Kia ora, ko Bex Petrie tōku ingoa. I’m a Social Worker with experience in mental health, suicide prevention, and postvention, and I currently work as a Clinical Advisor for the TWB and Aoake te Rā teams. My mahi is deeply connected to my commitment to whānau and community wellbeing, and I believe in the power of both lived and clinical knowledge in creating meaningful change.

I am passionate about working alongside tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau, and I strive to bring a values-led, mana-enhancing approach to every aspect of my mahi. My focus is always on creating a space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make their own decisions for better mental health.

I live in Taupō with my whānau, where we enjoy the beauty of the mountains and lake. In my downtime, you’ll find me spending time outdoors, recharging, and reflecting on the world around me.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa, Mauri ora!
