Imbi Pyman
Since July 2018 Imbi has been a very proud member of Lifeline’s Lived Experience Advisory Group. She has three wonderful adult children, one of which suffered a life altering traumatic event that catapulted them into the mental health and legal systems. For nearly a decade now, Imbi has worked alongside her husband to passionately shed light on the difficulties and challenges their family experienced. Their intent is to improve services and give hope to others facing similar paths.
At her lowest point, which was both shocking and unexpected, Imbi reached out to Lifeline. This call, this connection, was lifesaving and brought Imbi back home safely to her family. She is forever grateful that she made that call.
In her professional capacity, Imbi works as a diversional therapist in the aged care sector. She is currently a member of the National Suicide Prevention Office LEPG, a Roses in the Ocean ambassador, has served in an advisory role for Mental Health Victoria and is helping her husband write a book about their journey.
Her appreciation for the services Lifeline provides and her passion to champion the work they do, is always front and centre and Imbi’s message is that, as humans, we are all vulnerable and Lifeline gives hope when it is hard to find.
