Tom Kerr and Andrea Eadie are the lead developers of this resource.
Andrea and Tom both come from education backgrounds but have spent most of their working lives in youth work, supporting young people and training other youth workers, school chaplains and support people. Life Island comes out of their hope for people, young and old, to live and enjoy the best life they can.
Several wonderful professionals have reviewed and trialled Life Island in their contexts, giving valuable feedback. We are deeply grateful to: Sue Crittall and Jo Patrick who have trialled it in professional supervision contexts with ministry agents, school guidance counsellors, etc; Dave Hockey, David Kamholtz, Darren Larence, Leanne Lawrence, Talia Fiyen, Carrie Mallinson, Jennie Dowie, Joshua Blake, Brad Laing, Kerry Moss, who have trialled it in primary and high state schools. We also thank Dr Katelyn Kerr, Dr Sue King-Smith, Bruce Moore, Paul Yarrow, Mike Jeffrey, Alanna Sorrensen, Fiona Wilson, Narelle Moir, Megan Harris and Tess Van Bennekom who have reviewed the resource and given editing suggestions and encouragement.
Go well
We hope you and the people you support, find Life Island a helpful resource for reflection, communicating and action planning.
