Sarah brings to a stage what readers find in her books: warmth, and wisdom she earned rather than studied. What changes is the shape of it — a nursing forum, a leadership offsite and a carers' group each need a different part of the story.
For the people doing the caring. The years Sarah disappeared into it, the guilt of taking an afternoon back, and the slow work of recovery. Hope without platitudes, and no suggestion that anyone should be coping better.

BUILT FOR
Carer organisations and peak bodies, NGO and community events, support groups, schools and carer networks.
The ward round you remember as routine is the one a family replays for years. Admission, treatment and discharge from the other side of the desk. Delivered by a nurse, so it stays practical and never becomes blame.
------------------------
BUILT FOR
Grand rounds, nursing and allied health CPD, in-services, mental health conferences.
Carers rarely announce themselves at work. They take the leave, make the calls from the car park, and keep delivering — until they don’t. What a manager can say in the thirty seconds that matter.
------------------------
BUILT FOR
People-manager programs, EAP and wellbeing events. Because every month is Mental Health Month and every day is check in day.

A powerful version of this material and the most carefully handled. It is offered by special arrangement only, *subject to Alice's availability and a conversation about the audience.
Available across Australia and online.
Some people in your audience are living this right now. That can change how the talk is written, delivered and closed out — and it is handled before you have to ask.
Who is in the room, what they have already heard, and what the event is trying to achieve. The talk is written to that, not pulled off a shelf.
A content note at the top, agreed with you in advance, and clear permission to step out. Sarah stays through the break for the people who want to speak privately.
Signed copies of Dear Psychosis, and Dear Carer, at 'author rate' for attendee gifting or a post-event signing.
Every enquiry gets a reply.
Or use the contact form — either reaches Sarah directly.
