Black Dog

This week we will be having a guest spoeaker from the Black Dog Institute

Adam Ritzinger is a mechanical engineer who has worked in the trucking industry since graduating in the early 2000s. He is a Melbourne resident but has lived and worked extensively around the globe, including Europe and South East Asia. He is a devoted family man and father who lives with his partner, their two young girls, and the family's two miniature sausage dogs. Adam's lived experience with mental illness includes depression and anxiety, which he experienced in his late 20s and early 30s. Overcoming those challenges, and assisting others in the community to do the same, is what drives Adam to volunteer for the Black Dog Institute.
