Team Member Mark Summers Recognised as NMHS Employee of the Season

We are very proud that our own Senior Clinical Psychologist Dr Mark Summers has been recognised as the North Metropolitan Health Service’s latest Employee of the Season for the Noongar season of Djilba.

Mark has worked at the Centre for Clinical Interventions for more than 10 years supporting people with mood and anxiety disorders, as well as conducting research and providing valuable clinical supervision to many psychology students and registrars. He was nominated for his caring and compassionate attitude, which consistently receives positive feedback from colleagues and consumers alike.

Beyond his outstanding clinical work, Mark also goes above and beyond for our service by leading the implementation of safety and quality audits and providing clear feedback and guidance to the team regarding opportunities for improvements. He has also played a key role in developing evidence-based resources that can be used by clinicians and consumers (e.g., co-authoring a recent series of workbooks about addressing social anxiety, Stepping Out of Social Anxiety; and currently forming part of a working group to update our treatment manual for group-based psychological treatment of depression, the Mood Management Course).

Mark said he was very humbled to be nominated by his team, sharing with the NMHS team, “I love working at CCI. The whole team is such a lovely group of people, which makes it a pleasure to come to work,” Mark said.

CCI is proud of the great team of staff we have, and awards like this are a wonderful opportunity for the contributions of our staff members to be acknowledged, both within our service and beyond.
