Since the first time I met Robyn at the Aleternatives Conference in 2015, I have been in awe of her sense of adventure and huge heart. Although she just turned 50, she has lived and worked in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, propogating the power of peer support around the world. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she has never let other people's perceptions of what she can and cannot do deter her from living the life of her dreams. When asked what has helped her recover and thrive, she said, "the love and support of her global network of family and friends, her dog, and meaningful work."

Robyn is the embodiment of the quote: "Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible." Thank you Robyn for bringing hope and healing to people struggling with mental health issues around the world. You are a HOPEBRINGER!
