We are pleased to welcome Lily Strachan to the KCC platform this Friday 25 June for Onward Youth conference. Joining a panel of varied and experienced speakers, Lily will be interviewed on the topic of suffering, mental illness and the stigma associated with it.  
​
Lily is no stranger to mental illness, having been diagnosed with depression in 2003 and bipolar in 2008. She believes that Christians are not exempt from suffering and will share where hope can be found in the midst of mental illness.  
 
You can get a taste of Lily’s interview content here:  

Lily serves as the Chaplain to Robert Menzies College at Macquarie University and is writing a book about living with bipolar disorder and caring for those who struggle with it. Before studying theology, Lily worked as a corporate lawyer and before that she learnt to love coffee, big books and politics whilst studying at the University of Sydney.  
​
She enjoys long lunches with family, hiking and the beach with friends and, most of all, talking about God’s goodness in all of life. She also happens to own the ‘cutest dog in the world’, a cavoodle named Ziggy.
