Hear from one of the 2024 Study Grant Recipients, Penni Wolfgramm
Penni

Penni! Congratulations on being one of the 2024 ANZMHA Study Grant recipients! How has the grant helped you with your studies this year?

The grant allowed me the time and space to focus on my studies and look after my family and myself. I used the grant to take care of study and family expenses and it was a welcomed gift! 

What did you study this year and what accreditation has this given you?

I studied at the University of Auckland and have completed a Doctor of Clinical Psychology. I will be practising very soon as a registered Clinical Psychologist. 

 

Why is it so important for you to gain this accreditation?

This is incredibly important as it allows me the opportunity to serve my Pacific and rainbow+ communities through the practice of clinical psychology.

What do you suggest to anyone applying for one of this year’s ANZMHA Study Grants?

Take the opportunity! Answer all the questions and supply all the requested material. This has been a real gift. As you pursue your studies in mental health, know you deserve the care and support available to you. Good luck!
