Rhoda Wagaki

 

Rhoda has been a Psychological Counsellor for 15+ years and Certified Professional Mediator for over a year. She actively engages in promoting the mental well-being of people to relieve mental suffering and maintain human dignity. She is passionate about building human capacity towards achieving personal development.

Raised by a nurse, and having served as an institutional caregiver she has had a front row seat into the world of caregiving. She witnessed first-hand the vital role of being a bridge between patient and doctor that caregivers play.

She observed how they systematically diminish and ignore their own need for care and support and how this puts them at risk of physical and emotional harm which directly influences the quality of care they are able to give.Founding and launching SHCS is a response to her lived experiences and an intention to redesign the caregiving support system.
