Tandi Kuwana built her career in mental health, but it was her own experience with depression that helped her smash taboos and improve mental wellbeing for those around her.

In this episode, the Perth-based mental health nurse and founder shares the challenges that led to her mental illness.

And the inspiring community leader explains why reaching out for help, and helping others, gave her the drive to get better.

Tandi, who completed her Graduate Diploma of Mental Health Nursing in 2018, is the founder of social enterprise My Mental Wellness Keys, and CQUniversity's Alumnus of the Year for Social Impact.
