Join me as I sit down with Teri Ekanayake to explore her remarkable journey in mental health nursing which began in England and has led to her current role as Nurse Manager of a Mental Health Court in Australia.

From bedside care to the courtroom, Teri reveals how her international experience and diverse clinical background prepared her for leadership in this innovative field. She shares insights into the critical importance of therapeutic jurisprudence and discusses how communities should support and invest in these transformative services.
