Jesse Scott (They/Them)
Living/Lived Experience Consultant | Peer Support Lead | Peer Support Worker
​
I am a queer, non-binary, neurodivergent, disabled human with a lived and living experience of mental health challenges, on a colourful journey through life.
​
I am an experienced Youth and Peer Worker with a passion for mental health, social justice, advocacy, redefining and challenging societal norms, supporting our diverse and marginalised communities, through co-creating community care spaces and building connectedness. I love working in environments where I can make a positive difference and support the development of youth voices, lived experience and LGBTIQA+ inclusivity in service provision.

Jesse is a queer, non binary, neurodivergent, disabled human with a living experience of mental health challenges. Jesse finds it so uncomfortable to write "about me" sections, so is hoping that they will return here and continue adding magical things about themselves. They love plants, tea pots, buttons, and all things creative! They also do not like having their picture taken but they look just like their cute bitmoji. Lived experience trumps all but here are a few of the other ways Jesse has done some learning.
