Personal message from Alyse:
I am a professional, Clinical Psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy, Psychology and Counselling, and have worked in the field of disability and mental health for 34 years.
I am currently studying a PhD at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) in Parental Alienation.
I believe passionately in equal rights and a world without discrimination.
I advocate on behalf of people living with a mental health issue and/or disability to ensure that they are included and supported within their work places, with their own personal choices, and all other areas in our community. My life goal is to see everyone live without discrimination, no matter what abilities they have or don't have. We are all walking this journey together and need to support each other. Inclusivity, self worth, self esteem, dignity, protection of rights, personal freedom and growth are all basic human rights that we are all entitled to for ourselves, no matter what we are experiencing.
Warmest regards, Alyse

Current Projects
Humanly Possible Channel on Facebook
Alyse is a co host with Dawn Endria McCarty (in Florida, America) https://www.facebook.com/HumanlyPossibleChannel/
The 'Humanly Possible Channels' mission is to encourage and support people who are often working steadily, and quietly on their own altruistic community projects, as well as showcasing people who are advocating on behalf of those without a voice (especially children), or people wanting to tell their stories of hope and resilience, with the ambition of inspiring others.
Dawn and Alyse also interview adult children of divorce and separation, as well as adult children who have also experienced Parental Alienation on top of their parents divorce/separation, to shine a light on the voice of the adult child, and to let people hear exactly what growing up as a child who's parents have divorce/separated is truly like,
Dawn and Alyse interview people who have altruistic, empowering, pay it forward views toward helping our communities, and who are also very clear about their own life purpose and mission.
People working toward shining a light on the voice of the children are also highly regarded.
There are many people with these qualities out there and the 'Humanly Possible Channel' wants to show everyone what others are doing to change our world for the better!
Collectively, Dawn and Alyse hope to weave together a new community of warriors, who are using positive messages, and non violent communication styles to teach hope, happiness, love, healing, and resilience to those longing for this type of inspiration.
Dawn and Alyse would love to introduce you to some of the inspirational people that we have already interviewed over at our Humanly Possible Channel on Facebook!

Free Resources:
The FREE SEMPI Social Communication Model
Alyse is the author and creator of
'The SEMPI Model of Communication ©".
The Australian designed SEMPI Social Communication Model teaches and empowers any community member (child or adult), from any social class, how to have a deeper level of conversation, if you ask someone, ‘Are you OK?’ and they say "No".
SEMPI teaches the next step to the 'Are you OK?' question,
if this question feels too hard to sit with, seems confusing,
or just doesn't feel right for the person saying 'No.'
The 'SEMPI© Model' is written for everyone, no matter what your disability, mental health challenge, occupation, or religion.
'SEMPI' is written to help your community, and the children's and community version is FREE! You can use 'SEMPI' one on one, or in a group today.
The SEMPI Model is currently being taught in over 20 countries around the world!

Damo's Law
Alyse has teamed up to help and mentor Tessa Sarich with her project and petition named "Damo's Law.'
Damos Law is named after Tessa's brother Damien, who lived with paranoid schizophrenia, and died by suicide on December 5th,2016.
Damo's Law is a law that we are trying to get passed at Parliament House in Canberra, Australia via petition, that will allow anyone who is feeling at imminent risk of suicide, the chance to get a second opinion if they feel that mental health professionals or services are not listening to them.
Damo's Law project helpers speak to people who are needing someone to speak to, and also utilise the SEMPI Social Communication Model to help when people are not feeling O.K both over the phone and in meetings on Facebook and Instagram.
