Jos: co-Coordinator for COMPASS team
Works On: Coordinating the Community Mental Health Peer Advocacy Support Service (COMPASS)
Says Jos: Someone told me recently she had heard about me: "You are a person who doesn't do as she is told". I am quite proud of that role description. And I don't live in Nelson at all - I hide in the Motueka river valley with my family, dogs and lots of birds for company when I am not at work.
Karen: Project Coordinator
Works On: The Real Deal (Health Action's alcohol and other drugs project)
I joined the Health Action team (taking over a maternity position), co-ordinating the Youth Access to Alcohol (YATA) project. I come from an Alcohol and Drug background (initially in Glasgow some years ago and then Nelson, quite a change in both climate and culture!). I'm pleased to be back more in what I call home and doing some hands on work again!
Hobbies: I'm passionate about all creatures including humans! In my spare time I enjoy horseriding, campaigning for all animals (with SAFE) and am involved in setting up Nelson ARK (an animal rescue community with focus on offering young people a positive rewarding learning experience with animals).
