Robyn Dandy
Robyn Dandy is a survivor of the Lake Alice psychiatric facility, known for her advocacy and resilience following traumatic experiences during her time there. In 1972, she was injected with paraldehyde, a drug used for sedation, which has been a part of her difficult past. Recently, she received a government redress payment, which she plans to use to fulfill her dream of traveling around New Zealand in a house bus, a promise she made to her late grandson, Kahn Petch. Dandy's story highlights the ongoing impact of historical injustices on survivors and their journeys toward healing.
