Rachel is a health psychologist and researcher who has been working in collaborative, community-based research on preventative health with Aboriginal communities for almost 20 years while also working clinically in a range of settings. Most recently, she has worked to implement a large NHMRC-funded project seeking to support Aboriginal health services to develop prevention and treatment approaches for people who use methamphetamine and their families. This work has highlighted the importance of strengthening the way health systems respond to the needs of young people, particularly in relation to social and emotional wellbeing.
