Paul Klotz
Lived and Living Experience Journeyman
A lived and living experience storyteller using his 50 plus years of battling with the repercussions of child abuse (sexual, physical and emotional), mental illnesses, suicide, disabilities, homelessness and chronic health conditions to bridge the chasm between victims, survivors and consumers with the academic, clinical and policy arenas that define the level of access, availability and effectiveness of our health systems.
Works behind the scenes on many LLE committees, advisory groups and research projects to help build these bridges, such as National Centre for Action on Child Sexual Abuse, Blueknot Foundation, Project Air, Musculoskeletal Australia, Roses in the Ocean, Manna Institute, Mental Health Australia, Qld Health (MHCCSC), The Achieve Foundation, MHLEPQ, The Alive Research Collective, plus many others.
Passionate about the human rights, mental health and well-being of males and raising the profile of the needs of people in regional, rural and remote communities.
