Dr Kerrie Buhagiar, Chief Programs Officer at Smiling Mind, brings over two decades of experience in health program design and delivery in Australia and the UK. She is passionate about designing health systems and programs that not only put people at the centre, but are exceptional at responding to the needs of those that use them.

For the past 12 years, Kerrie has led a range of initiatives that strive to improve mental health and wellbeing in homes, schools, workplaces, as well as across a range of digital settings. She is an advocate for child and youth mental health and is passionate about transforming the way we all view our mental health–as an asset, rather than a problem-and something we can proactively look after, just like our physical health.
