Social SectorEmeli is focused on one thing: "How can we empower individuals to improve and monitor their own health and wellbeing - ongoing?".
Social innovation in our health industry is slow to utilise the power of technology to advance the health of Australia. Can you imagine, what the future of health will look like in workplaces, schools, the public system? With current pandemics and unprecedented disruptions to our comfortable lives; causing isolation, workplace stress, high anxiety and record levels of depression and suicides. More can be done to improve health services by igniting digital health technology to monitor, reverse risk and save lives. When Emeli first started in the health industry, two decades ago, the term mental health was not even being used as it is today. Emeli (or Australia's Oprah Winfrey as she is known fondly to her SoCo network) has empowered the mindsets and inspired the hearts of half a million Australians through live in person events and reaching 1 million online globally. For social innovation to occur, we cannot rely on Government services alone. Emeli advocates for co-designed, peer led and community capacity building innovation. Her focus lies in social connection theory and the important role it plays in improving health issues. Emeli is the start up co-Founder of Collective Potential, a Wellbeing Education Training social enterprise (soon to be EduTech). As a self confessed, serial social entrepreneur, she has co-designed, developed and delivered social change initiatives ranging from national preventative mental health and poverty grassroots advocacy campaigns to co-designing peer led programs addressing complex issues such as mental health, indigenous, female, youth, employment, LGBTIQ, homelessness, family violence, disability. She is on a mission to to advocate for social innovation in the public health sector and has collaborated with an extensive list of NGO's - Whitelion, Lighthouse, Oaktree, MMAD, Good Shepherd, R U Ok?, Beyond Blue, DHSS, DSS, Ducere, One Girl, IWDA,. Her international development experience with trauma effected groups in Africa (Botswana, Sth Africa), Middle East (Iran, Israel, Palestine), Thailand (Tsunami, Phi Phi Is), Ireland (Belfast & Dublin), USA (Brooklyn, Bronx) reminds her to stay focused on global impact. Collective Potential mission led her to personal meetings with great influencers of our time; Oprah Winfrey, His Holiness Dalai Lama, Sir Richard Branson, Russell Brand, Bono and Brene Brown. She was personally mentored by many Australian people of influence; namely the late Jim Stynes as a recognised youth leader, co-leading thousands of social innovation projects and program teams for the national youth organisation, The Reach Foundation. |
