Mel Keller-Tuberg (she/they) is a youth mental health advocate, speaker and writer who has worked to implement the findings of Victoria’s Royal Commission into Mental Health. Mel bases all of her work in her lived experience of Eating Disorders and co-occurring mental health issues she experienced as a teenager; the care that was helpful, unhelpful and what would have helped the most. She believes that the mental health system must give those it seeks to serve a voice, in policy, clinical programmes and research, in order for these programs to work. When she’s not advocating about youth mental health and codesign, Mel can be found cold-water swimming, life drawing or at a pottery wheel.
