Mark is a kind and wonderful 47-year-old man who lives in Kurri Kurri with his mother, Anne. Mark, who has been living with diagnoses of Intellectual Disability and Mood Affective Disorder, has been part of the Sunflower community for over two years – and what an incredible journey it’s been!
Our support workers in Newcastle have worked closely with Mark, helping him regulate his emotions and navigate significant life changes, such as the loss of his father and his beloved dog, Candy. Through our dedicated disability support work, Mark has shown amazing resilience and has built strong bonds with his team.
Mark often says he has the strongest team in all of Sunflower, and his journey is a true reflection of how impactful support work in Newcastle can be. Seeing Mark shine and thrive with the support of his team is why we do what we do.
