Meet Allison from the Christie Downs Community House

This week I met up with the wonderful Allison Emerson, Community Development Officer, from the Christie Downs Community House.

She's a woman who instinctively gets the vision behind GLASS EMPTY & The Whisperer Team.

Understands the mission and sees what it takes to move it forward.

She's a woman with a huge heart for community, to say the least.

So she was excited to purchase a GLASS EMPTY Venue Starter Kit for the Community House, making the Christies Downs' premises the first Community Centre to introduce the GLASS EMPTY Signal coaster.

She says, its so she can pick up on the cues easier, and for someone in suicide distress to be able to communicate they need help or a conversation a little easier, if the words are hard to find.

She left me some beautiful words to reflect on and they're going straight into the case study ...

"Your initiative is going to be as big as you can recruit to make it big.

"Its a people-centric idea heavily reliant on people and the goodness in people.

"When staff don their Pub Whisperer badge or volunteers put on their Community Whisperer badge, it's a reminder that this initiative is happening."
