CEO and Director
Following a very traumatic family bereavement, Dorit Braun has been active in trying to improve mental health care and the ways NHS staff and organisations learn from deaths.
Before her retirement in 2019, she worked as a Charity Chief Executive and in a variety of senior management and governance roles in the social care and family support sectors.
Dorit began volunteering with Making Families Count in 2020. She has written blogs, contributed to webinars and has developed our mental health project ‘Life beyond the cubicle‘. The project has published eLearning materials which focus on working well with family and friends during mental health crises, to improve care, avoid harm and reduce deaths. Dorit was appointed Chief Executive and Director for Making Families Count in October 2025.
Dorit is also an artist, exhibiting from time to time.
