Suzi Evans – Advocate, Author, and Facilitator

In 2018, Suzi Evans faced unimaginable heartbreak when her son Murray ("Muzz") tragically took his own life, just shy of his 30th birthday. Channeling her grief into purpose, Suzi discovered positive psychology and wellbeing, which became the cornerstone of her mission to support others navigating mental health challenges and loss.

Suzi lives with her husband Mick on their sheep property in the Murray Mallee and just as they were starting to find their way through the fog of grief, Mick was hospitalised for 6 months with Guillain Barre Syndrome – yes, we had never heard of it either let alone pronounce it, so we called it GBS. It is getting better slowly, but as Mick was paralysed from the neck down, he had to learn to walk again amongst many other challenges.

Suzi is a certified Mental Health First Aid Trainer, a member of the Suicide Prevention Australia SA regional committee, Agrifutures SA Rural Women’s award 2024 state finalist and the founder of Workbench for the Mind—an accredited program inspired by her late son's love of his workbench, offering tools to build resilience and cope with life's challenges.

With a Diploma in Positive Psychology and Wellbeing, Suzi has worked with leading organizations such as BHP and government agencies. Her expertise spans Positive Psychology, coaching, and Mental Health First Aid.

Suzi's debut book, Grief (2023), is a heartfelt exploration of her personal journey and the lessons she's learned, offering comfort and guidance to those experiencing loss. A passionate speaker, Suzi is widely recognized as one of Australia's leading advocates for mental health, resilience, and grief, delivering her message with authenticity, empathy, and hope.

Suzi Evans is available for speaking engagements, interviews, and facilitation opportunities.
