Janelle Ford has been recognised for her contribution to improving mental health with a host of national awards.

Janelle won gold, silver and bronze at the Roar Awards for Start-Up of the Year, Business Growth and Business of the Year respectively and a silver in the Emerging Ausmumpreneur of the Year for Queensland/Northern Territory at the AusMumpreneur Awards in 2022.

“It has been an exciting journey so far. As expected with any new business there have been many challenges - the occasional IT glitch is one thing that comes to front of mind - but the first 18 months was a time of long hours and late nights,” Janelle says.

“I ate, slept and breathed the business and all it stood for 24/7 and I am so proud of where the business is today.

“It was such an honour just to be nominated and then to take home a win in so many awards in the first year was a surreal experience.

“I am so proud of this achievement. I do what I do to make a positive difference in the lives of those that can benefit from undertaking the therapeutic intervention programs that I train others to deliver.

“I am extremely passionate about what I do and passionate about driving positive change for improved service delivery across the mental health and disability sector nationwide.”
