Pieta Manning – Parent of a young NDIS participant and experienced provider


Jacinta Simpson – NDIS participant, mental health advocate, and lived experience with DID

🧠 Identity before diagnosis

🤝 Trauma-informed engagement and trust

📋 Support plans vs real-life context

With warmth, she says, you make people feel safe; with competence, you make them trust your expertise.
