The Werry Centre has been deeply saddened by the passing of our Director, Sue Treanor. Sue has been an amazing leader for our organization for the past seven years and we have all learnt so much from her. We have all been inspired by Sue's natural leadership and her warmth, humour and intellect has touched us all.
Tributes have poured in for Sue, her reputation and respect in the mental health sector is huge. Messages have come in from all over New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the US.
It was very clear in the messages that we have received that Sue has made a huge contribution to the infant, child and adolescent mental health and AoD sector and over and over again people mentioned her compassion, her wisdom and her ability to inspire.
We would like to thank our colleagues in the child and adolescent sector, the other workforce programmes, Uniservices and our other Auckland university colleagues for all of your messages and the support you have given to the Werry Centre staff in this difficult time.
We are committed to carrying on the work Sue has led. Although we will grieve her loss, we will remember with pride our achievements and strive to maintain the standards she set. And along the way we will be kind to each other and never forget to laugh. Rest well, our dear friend.
