Kajal Patel

I am a Programme Coordinator for Addiction 101 workshops, my role is focused on organising the logistics and admin to deliver successful workshops across New Zealand and online. I am so grateful to work for an organisation where I can be part of an amazing team that provides such meaningful work.

I studied Management and Human Resources at Victoria University, and after working in various office support roles I learned that what I love most is helping people and making a positive impact. I have also realised what an important role mental health plays in our day-to-day lives. Therefore, I am passionate about helping more New Zealanders have access to the knowledge and tools provided in Blueprint for Learning workshops as I have personally learned a lot from attending the MH101 and Addiction 101 workshops myself.
