Evan holds a Diploma in Community Development from RMIT University and has a diverse professional background. Evan’s career has spanned roles in sales, fashion, construction, finance and even conducting funerals. However, Evan’s life took a major turn when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

The diagnosis prompted him to focus on his recovery and contribute to the mental health community. Reflecting on his journey, Evan shared, “Because I had schizophrenia, I started to put more emphasis on what recovery might be for me.” She secured a Consumer Support Role in Multicultural Mental Health and founded Australia’s first Multicultural Mental Health Support Group, Spectrum of Cultures, which ran for 17 years.

In his spare time, Evan enjoys walking, reading, dancing and going to church. He finds relaxation and joy in these activities and appreciates spending time constructively away from daily responsibilities. Evan also enjoys traveling with his wife, participating in church activities, and volunteering at their local public hospital.

Evan has a passion for football, having trained as a coach and later moving on to referee. He enjoys watching football matches and participating in community activities that bring happiness and peace.

“I like to spend time constructively away from everyday responsibilities,” he said. “Just getting away from our usual environment improves our overall health outlook for life.”

The initial diagnosis of schizophrenia was a major setback for Evan, causing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. However, with effective counseling, therapy and his determination, Evan has overcome these challenges and adopted a positive outlook on life. He has helped others along the way by maintaining healthy relationships and participating in community activities. “Additional stress, worry, anxiety overwhelmed me. Low self-esteem developed and feelings associated with stigma came to my mind. Although through effective counseling, effective therapy and my willpower was improving, I was able to overcome all these the unfortunate aspects and began to project a more positive perspective on my life.”

Obtaining his degree from RMIT University is Evan’s self-proclaimed greatest personal achievement. Despite the setbacks caused by his illness, he completed his Diploma in Community Development. This achievement has allowed him to help others as a strong advocate for mental health, contributing to better services and support.

Reflecting on this achievement, Evan said, “even though it meant a lot of work, it was worth it in the long run – an achievement I always aimed for as a young person.”

Schizophrenia is often misunderstood, leading to damaging myths and stigma. Disease is not synonymous with violence, nor is it a punishment for wrongdoing. With the right treatment and support, people with schizophrenia can lead active and fulfilling lives. “The most common misconception is that schizophrenia is a dangerous disease and that it makes people violent. This can only happen in a small percentage and often only happens to those who don’t get the right treatment or support,” Evan explained.

Family, friends and clinicians have been instrumental in his recovery. Emphasizing the importance of acceptance, non-judgmental support and evidence-based treatment, Evan believes that schizophrenia does not define a person’s entire existence. People living with schizophrenia have talents, skills and abilities that contribute positively to the world. “People with schizophrenia should not be afraid. False claims are often made that we are dangerous or violent. Most of us are kind, gentle and loving people.”

By managing his symptoms through medication, avoiding stress and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, Evan encourages seeking professional support, eating nutritious foods, exercising and following a regular sleep routine, while also stressing the importance of relaxation and management techniques of stress. “Managing the symptoms of schizophrenia is mainly through medication that I take daily… and I try to avoid stressful experiences as they often trigger symptoms.” Staying connected with family and friends, reducing stress, identifying the causes of symptoms and seeking help when needed are key tips she offers. Joining support groups and focusing on positive experiences is also encouraged. Understanding schizophrenia and having a plan for when times are difficult are vital to managing the illness. “Take care of yourself, stay connected to your family and friends, don’t isolate yourself from the community,” she advises. “Try to reduce stress and identify triggers for symptoms so you can manage them when they occur.”

Hoping his journey inspires others and promotes recovery, Evan’s message for Schizophrenia Awareness Week is one of courage and resilience. “There is great satisfaction for me in seeing others around me benefit through my help… I share my story of recovery in hopes that it corrects other people’s thinking about ways they can recover.”

Evan’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the impact of community support. As we observe Schizophrenia Awareness Week, let’s remember the importance of understanding, acceptance and support for people living with schizophrenia.
