Larissa’s journey has not been easy.

After experiencing addiction throughout much of her twenties, Larissa had several periods of recovery before finding herself returning to substance use. Following the birth of her children and the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, she reached a point where she knew she needed more support.

Larissa continued applying to rehabilitation programs, and when an opportunity became available at CRDAC, she took a leap of faith.

She completed three months of residential rehabilitation, participating in group sessions, individual counselling, Narcotics Anonymous meetings, daily journalling, structured routines, walks, barbecues and weekly gym sessions. Larissa says each part of the program helped her better understand addiction, address childhood trauma and develop strategies that continue to support her today.

Her advice to others is simple:

“On the hard days, give yourself one more day. Sleep on it, take things one day at a time and find something that helps you through.”

For Larissa, that included music, her Bible, diamond art and Sudoku.

Today, Larissa is celebrating three years in recovery. She and her husband are both working full-time, they have created a safe and stable home, and their four children are thriving.

An incredible achievement, Larissa. Your strength, courage and determination are truly inspiring. 👏✨👏✨👏✨

Congratulations to National Mary Potter Award Finalist, Pauline Pitkin!

We are proud to celebrate Pauline Pitkin, Registered Midwife at Calvary Riverina, who was recognised as a finalist in the 2025 National Mary Potter Awards. Pauline was nominated for her compassionate, person-centred care, her calm and reassuring presence, and her unwavering commitment to supporting women and families through some of life's most significant moments.

Known for making patients feel safe, heard and valued, Pauline goes above and beyond to care for the whole person, physically, emotionally and spiritually. She is also a trusted mentor to students and colleagues, generously sharing her knowledge and supporting excellence in maternity care.

As Mary Potter said, “Let us be kind to one another and never weary of doing good.” Pauline lives these words every day through her kindness, professionalism and dedication to the Calvary values of Hospitality, Healing, Stewardship and Respect.
