Our Team
Joshua Surgenor - Social Worker
Hi, I’m Josh.
I founded Mindful Mates to support veterans, first responders, and the wider community in strengthening their mental health and wellbeing. My experience in the Royal Australian Air Force and as a paramedic showed me how vital it is to maintain mental fitness with the same commitment we give to physical fitness. Drawing on both lived experience and professional social work training, I’ve created a space that’s supportive, grounded, and focused on practical tools that help people move forward.
