Starlight Ambassador since 2018
"I'm so excited to be a Starlight Ambassador and to support an organisation that has Positive Pysch at its heart." - Dr Suzy Green
As an organisation that has positivity at its core, we are delighted to have the Founder of The Positivity Institute, Dr Suzy Green as our Starlight Ambassador.
Suzy is a Clinical and Coaching Psychologist and a recognised leader in the complementary fields of Coaching Psychology and Positive Psychology and it’s combined applied practice of Positive Psychology Coaching.
All Starlight's programs embrace the principles of positive psychology where fun and happiness are important factors in a child's overall wellbeing. Suzy said it was this approach that inspired her to get involved with Starlight.
As a proud ambassador, Suzy has supported our annual Starlight Day events helping to raise funds and awareness about the power of happiness.
In 2018, Suzy helped officially open the new Starlight Express Room at the Children's Hospital at Randwick and has shared her expertise with teens and young people though Livewire podcasts and events.
An advocate for the benefits of a positive workplace culture, she has championed Starlight through a range of webinars, presentations and expert panels.
In 2020, Suzy created a new initiative all about sharing the power of positivity, called Stories for Starlight to help raise vital funds for our Wishgranting program.
Suzy, along with leaders from the field of Positive Psychology and Education, read their favourite children's book aloud with kids young and old sharing in the story on-line.
Starlight CEO Louise Baxter took part reading Graham Hosking's Sidney Opera Mouse!
"A good storybook well told, with key positive messages is a joy for any age," Suzy said.
With Suzy on board as a Starlight Ambassador, Starlight continues to grow our knowledge and skills in the power of positivity to create a lasting impact on the lives of children and young people.
