Whispers of Resilience Our MS Stories Podcast S3 EP7 - Angharad Candlin

Resilience Mindset

Angharad is in her 50s and despite having MS for about 40 years, was only formally diagnosed 5 years ago in 2018. She is however no stranger to MS as her mother was diagnosed with it during Angharad’s childhood. Angharad was born in the US and raised in the north of England but is Welsh through and through. She migrated to Australia to join her family when she was 23 and continues to live in Sydney.
Angharad is a Registered Psychologist and Board Authorised Supervisor. She worked in the community sector for over 30 years and was an Adjunct Supervisor with Macquarie University’s Masters of Professional Psychology for many years. Angharad is the lead author of two externally evaluated and internationally recognised parenting programs; Keeping Kids in Mind and My Kids and Me (which won an award for Most Innovative New Program). She is currently working on a book examining the impact of grief and loss.
Angharad is regularly requested to speak to the media and at conferences and events. Whilst she speaks about complex and challenging issues, she is down-to-earth and has a wicked sense of humour. Angharad rails against injustice and is a fierce advocate particularly around issues relating to parenting, trauma, disability, child protection and domestic violence. She is accurately described as compassionate, caring and sparky.
Angharad made the decision to medically retire from permanent work in early 2023 due to the dual impact of MS and Psoriatic Arthritis. Typically though, she sees this as an opportunity not a disappointment. She is about to finally embark on her PhD, continues to mentor, support and train practitioners and is planning on travelling wherever her brand new Omeo - her personal mobility device - takes her, starting with Europe. She is always available to speak at events; where she loves nothing more than sharing her passion for building a resilient community in whatever way is possible.
