Teresa Lamy, who was one of 130 islanders involved in Jersey Recovery College’s design, is a retired professional with more than 20 years’ experience in leadership roles.
“Having led the people strategy of large organisations for many years I have had a professional connection with mental health issues for a long time,” Ms Lamy said.
“From struggling in everyday life to managing a serious mental illness, I know that the impact of life events can often be devastating and I’m excited to be able to give my time to a charity in an area that I am passionate about.”
