Elham Day
Family Support Manager - Hummingbird House
Professional Bio
Elham is the Manager of the Family and Community Support team and joined Hummingbird House shortly before the service opened in 2016.
Elham has held a key role in developing and shaping Hummingbird House’s approach to family-centred and community focused care. With over two decades of experience supporting children and families across healthcare, crisis intervention, community, education, and palliative care contexts, he brings a blended skillset to the team at Hummingbird House, along with post-graduate qualifications in counselling and management.
Elham’s professional experience and passion for participatory approaches to after death and grief care especially have helped to set Hummingbird House apart as a unique service that equips families to lead community-based approaches to death, funeral and bereavement care with the additional layers of support our inter-disciplinary team can provide.
Elham leads an interdisciplinary team of staff including Art Therapy, Community Development, Family Support and Volunteer Coordinator, who are all committed to working with families across the state of Queensland.
When he is not at work, Elham can usually be found on bush walks with his family or drinking tea while reminiscing about the nostalgic (pre-pandemic) joys of watching intensely loud and abrasive live music that mandated ear-plugs. He wonders if perhaps his ear-drums are equally appreciating the quieter surrounds these days.
