Beyond The Back Paddock with Bonnie Pappas

When I asked Bonnie Pappas to come onto the Beyond The Back Paddock Podcast I knew that the conversation would be fantastic. The conversation is full of gold. But also Bonnie's personality shines through in the conversation, and that is what makes Her good at what she does, She, above all is a caring person first.

Bonnie is a social worker who's worked across the mental health field in many situations. I met Bonnie in Rochester as part of the work that she was doing in flood recovery, particularly with small business support in Rochester, a small town in Northern Victoria, devastated by the October 2022 floods.

When Bonnie's contract expired in that role she's moved on to another field, working with kids in secondary school. This is a topic and field is something I am very interested in. There are many pressures navigating the teenage years, for both child and families.

Bonnie shares some great insights into her experience in flood recovery and also from her role now working in the education sector.

This is a great conversation. Bonnie has a tremendous amount of value to share. If you are from a community recovering from disaster, a parent of a teenager or a teenager yourself, please take the time to listen. Also if you know someone who might benefit from listening please share this conversation with them.

Please Enjoy.
