Chase is 25 years old and from Geelong, Victoria. He is a ReachOut Youth Ambassador and Advocate. He has a lived experience of being neurodiverse, transgender and having anxiety.

Chase is passionate about advocating for better access to mental health care, having personally experienced additional barriers accessing support due to being from a regional area.

When Chase first began seeking support for his mental health, he found watching other young people share their lived experience online very empowering. This encouraged him to start the conversation with his family and friends about mental health.
