Dr Andrea Reupert - Researcher Profile

Biography

Andrea is a therapist, teacher and researcher. She spent over ten years as a school counsellor in the public education system, in Victoria and Queensland, working with children aged 0-18, and their families, teachers and other associated professionals. Andrea has also worked in general private practice, with various client groups and organisations including prisons, unemployment agencies and welfare departments.

Dr. Reupert has authored or co-authored over 40 publications, delivered 30 conference presentations, and successfully acquitted 15 research grants totalling over $600,000 in the specialised area of parental mental illness. With A/Professor Maybery, she edited a special edition of the Australian e-Journal for the Advancement of Mental Health (a peer reviewed journal) in the area of parental mental illness, and currently co-edits GEMS (Gathering Evidence that Matters), a bi-monthly online resource sponsored by AICAFMHA, which aims to make research in the area of parental mental illness accessible to those living and working with parental mental illness (see http://www.copmi.net.au/gems/index.html ). Along with a team of researchers, clinicians and consumers, Andrea developed a world first model of care for families where the parent has a dual diagnosis (co-occurring drug/alcohol and mental illness). She was also involved in the first estimation of Australian children living with a parent with a mental illness.
