2022 sees complex mental health and disability services provider ermha365 turn 40! ermha365 produces this podcast.
We wanted to reflect on and recognise how ermha365 has grown over these four decades in Victoria and beyond, supporting people with complex mental health and disability.
Our special guests are two of ermha’s long-standing employees who’ve witnessed – and experienced - how ermha has evolved and adapted, in particular over the past 20 years.
Guests:
Dennise Rossetti – who recently retired after 20 years at ermha365 as Assistant Finance Manager and has seen a lot of change at ermha over that time.
Ellen Maple - ermha365’s Project Manager for Carer Respite & Field Education. Ellen joined ermha as a graduate social worker in 2004 and has worked in a number of roles over the years.
ermha365 CEO Karenza Louis-Smith hosts this episode.
Produced by Emily Webb, Advocacy and External Communications Advisor.
ermha365 history
Ermha was established forty years ago in Melbourne’s south east suburbs by consumers, their families and a psychiatrist who were concerned about the lack of support services for their loved ones who were experiencing a mental illness, especially after a hospital stay.
Ermha, then known as Eastern Region Mental Health Association, met a huge gap at that time. Today, we deliver services in Victoria and the Northern Territory. The ‘365’ was added to our name to highlight that many of our services are provided 24/7, 365 days a year.
