Project Coordinator, Life Beyond the Cubicle
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 became a member of Making Families Count in 2020. She has written blogs, contributed to webinars and is now coordinating a mental health project for Making Families Count, ‘Life beyond the cubicle‘, funded by NHS England. The project has developed eLearning materials which focus on working well with family and friends during mental health crises, to improve care, avoid harm and reduce deaths.
Dorit is also an artist, exhibiting from time to time.
