Looking for Answers ??? Theresa Mitchell Telecross Telecross is a free Red Cross service which provides a short reassuring daily phone call to people living in the community to ensure they are safe and well. The services assists a wide range of people in the community every day - older people living alone, people with disabilities, younger people and special needs groups; as well as people who need temporary assistance in the absence of a carer or during times of rehabilitation or support during or after a natural disaster, such as heatwave or flood.

Theresa like many people has experienced some horrible events in her life but she has turned the negatives into positives. She lived through childhood sexual abuse, survived a failed marriage, spent over 16 years as a single mum, lost a business and was next to homelessness. She has known loss and pain. But Theresa has not allowed her past to hold her back. She has helped raise over 187 children outside of her own son. She started a charity for the Homeless and Needy; Agape Outreach Inc, were she is weekly found on the streets, helping those in need. Theresa has visited the Philippines many times building houses for families in the slums and she has raised funds to help Endeavour Foundation, Muticap, Care flight, Watoto Choir and Compassion just to name a few. “We can chose to have life’s circumstances hold us down or we can chose to learn from these events, improve our lives and help others along the way, creating our own true happiness”. I combine a mix of Professional development, strategic interventions and a healthy dose of humour into life coaching to help turn others’ lives into positives also.
