At the Matilda Centre, we work to ensure a healthier tomorrow for everyone. That means taking into consideration unique needs, experiences, and access to our mental health and substance use systems for different people. As part of this work, we’re thrilled to be bringing on Dr Rachel Grove, who starts at the Matilda Centre this month. Dr Grove is a Research Fellow who is passionate about community driven research and understanding the strengths, needs and experiences of autistic people. In her previous role at UTS, she co-designed an autistic-led research agenda for autistic women, girls, and gender diverse people. She joins us at the Matilda Centre to start her Investigator Grant, titled ‘The freedom to live a flourishing life: Co-creating autistic wellbeing’.
