  • Rethinking suicide prevention with Hayley Purdon

    Rethinking suicide prevention with Hayley Purdon
    Mar 31 2026

    Hayley grew up in a privileged family where her parents worked hard and protected her from many hardships. She was a middle child who became skilled at noticing others and managing emotions.

    During high school, Hayley faced difficulties processing big emotions and coped with them through an eating disorder. She did not often share her struggles and felt alone with her experiences.

    After high school, Hayley tried multiple university courses and jobs, searching for meaning and a sense of purpose. She struggled with mental health and found comfort in helping others.

    In her early twenties, Hayley saw an advertisement for a lived experience committee and joined in 2012. This helped her find language for her experiences and begin talking openly about suicide.

    Hayley earned a degree in Suicidality and is finishing her PhD about people using their lived experience for suicide prevention. She has focused on changing conversations in the sector through research and advocacy.

  • From the corporate world to finding purpose in the global wellbeing community with Troy Flower

    From the corporate world to finding purpose in the global wellbeing community with Troy Flower
    Mar 17 2026

    Troy grew up in Bendigo, Victoria and studied sports science at university. He developed curiosity and appreciation for learning through diverse life experiences and family challenges.

    After university, Troy travelled extensively, living in places like Greece, Iran, and South America. He worked in remote cattle stations, ski field management at Mount Buller, and even spent six months living in a zoo.

    Troy built a varied career in banking, marketing, and sales, including roles as an executive and sales director. Corporate experiences taught him about values, leadership, and the realities of organizational identity and hierarchy.

    Health and wellbeing became central for Troy after witnessing family tragedies, including his father’s mental health struggles and loss of his mother-in-law and father-in-law. Inspired by these experiences, Troy sought to understand habits and pursue positive change.

    Troy founded Wellteam, focusing on building better habits in mind, body, movement, purpose, relationships, and nutrition. He now promotes learning, mateship, humility, and genuine connection to help others improve their lives and wellbeing.
