Kym is a qualified Teacher and experienced Outdoor Instructor who is also trauma informed. She is also Kids and Teens Yoga Teacher Trained. Kym has experienced childhood trauma and lives with mental health challenges daily, as a result of these early life experiences however It is this life experience that has drawn her to helping others.

Too many young people are living with mental health challenges and are dying prematurely, this has a ripple effect throught the families and communities which wrap around us. Everyone is impacted by mental health challenges at some point but it is how we cope with it that will make a difference and this is how Adventure Connections came to be.

We must do more to prevent mental illness and teach our young people how to protect their health and wellbeing not just physically but mentally as well. We must teach them how to thrive not just survive.

Kym is also a wife and mother to two beautiful children who she hopes will develop healthy behaviours and lifestyles that will help them manage the stress and challenges of life as they grow older.
