Gus Worland
Belinda Elworthy
Chief Executive Officer
Founder, Mental Fitness Advocate & Speaker
“I hope that one day we learn to embrace the tools and skills of mental fitness in our earliest years of education, just like we do for literacy and numeracy. My hope is that by the time my 3 sons are my age, building your mental fitness is part of our everyday life.”
“I want a society where everyone has a Gotcha4Life mate. That go-to person who you can open up to and rely on for anything. A world where we seek help when life gets challenging. Where we can build open and honest relationships and feel comfortable expressing ourselves, no matter what.”
Cassandra Nable
Head of Partnerships
“As a parent of 3 teens, I can see how vital it is to build mental fitness from an early age. I love that we are now teaching mental fitness skills to kids as young as four, and my dream would be for every child in Australia to have this opportunity. That’s why I’m passionate about working with incredible like-minded partners, who can help us scale our programs and make that vision a reality.”
Jennifer Keyes
Head of Product & Innovation
“I’m proud to play a role in shaping the programs and tools that help people build their mental fitness. Everything we create is backed by evidence but designed to feel simple, useful and easy to use, whether it’s in a classroom, on our Mental Fitness Gym app or around the kitchen table at home. For me, it means a lot to be part of a team that’s helping close the prevention gap and giving people the skills and knowledge to better handle life’s ups and downs.”
Lia Kostopoulos
Head of Brand Impact & Expansion
