I’m Sarah, and I’m a research consultant specialing in mental health and wellbeing. Throughout my career, my work has focused around young people, whether that be hands-on mentoring and leading programs, speaking in high schools, or researching and writing. I live in a beautiful beachside town in Western Australia. I’ve been married to Joel for sixteen years, and together we have five kids, a boisterous brown dog, and a handful of chickens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608947953209d4330f38a239/7eb754c5-8971-41ef-8c1b-a3a364a0e817/image-asset.jpeg About When I finished high school, I signed up for a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours). I completed most of my undergraduate studies part-time so that I could focus on my passion: youth work. For six years, I ran a youth program at a public high school and church, reaching out to the local community. I developed a strong team of adult and student leaders. As a big sister to many young people, I had the privilege of walking through the highs and lows with kids, teens, and families in the local community. Drawing on my experience working with young people, I began researching self-harm in high schools during my Honours project which included 1,100 teenagers and was published in a peer-reviewed journal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608947953209d4330f38a239/3a1a502f-e0c5-49d3-a58d-fdeee8b423af/image-asset.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608947953209d4330f38a239/585dd1c2-d1dd-4dd1-b0b5-70bb3c5a57a5/image-asset.jpeg About I now work as a research consultant, and I help organisations tell their story. I am passionate about real-world research that captures people’s stories and experiences. I believe in the power of story-telling and sharing our findings in ways that meaningfully contribute to a global conversation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608947953209d4330f38a239/563e65f9-5909-481b-907a-6b6df174ce6e/image-asset.jpeg About - Listen when the problems are small So they’ll talk when the problems are big https://sarahstanford.com/coaching daily 0.75 2023-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608947953209d4330f38a239/1621918959885-QR3DBKF03QZ53MNJQ6PN/Not+sure+where+you%27re+going Coaching - Feeling stuck?
