The Voice on Fire Interview - Series #5 - Tammie Horton - Be inspired by everyday people. Become a Change Agent and make the world a better place.

Tammie Horton founded Phynix Initiative and Come By Here, two organisations empowering individuals, groups, companies, corporations, non-profits, and communities with knowledge essential to mental well-being, resilience, and motivation. 

A passionate advocate for mental health and well-being, she has known the darkness, the aloneness and brokenness, and now Tammie dedicates her life to suicide prevention. 

Tammie uniquely combines academics and lived experience with music and a little bit of woo-woo to change people's lives. 

Using musical instruments as tools to help people connect within themselves and express what words often cannot, Tammie incorporates drumming and playing the Ukelele as part of her offering. 

More importantly, Tammie has been described as a Mental Health Angel, and she shares her story here with me. 

A story well worth taking time to listen to.

She has trained hundreds of Australians through her valuable resilience and mental health first aid programs and is fired up to impact the world.

TRADITIONAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I wish to respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where I live, work and study, the Kulin Nation people, and pay my respects to their Elders past, present and future.  

I also acknowledge I am living on stolen ground, the land we now know as Australia, and that sovereignty was never ceded. 

I celebrate First Australian history and the survival of the world’s oldest continuous culture and extend my deepest apologies for the horrific transgressions of my ancestors. I am sorry. 

I recognise the vital role of Treaty and Uluru Statement, and openly support Indigenous People's Voice in all areas including the Constitution. 

I pray for Indigenous Equity and world peace.
