Candidate for Deputy St. Helier Central
A Better Future for Jersey
Putting People First
I am standing for election for deputy of St.Helier for Jersey because I care deeply about Jersey, and St Helier its people, and its future. I believe our Island thrives when we invest in people, support opportunity, and plan responsibly for the long term.
Mental Health: Breaking the Stigma and Funding Support
Mental health affects every family, every workplace, and every school. Yet for too long it has been underfunded and misunderstood. I will push for increased funding for adult and youth mental health services, earlier intervention, and better access to support. Education is key — we must tackle stigma through schools, workplaces, and community awareness so people feel safe asking for help. Mental health should be treated with the same seriousness as physical health.
