Challenging & Changing Perceptions on Domestic Abuse, Violence, Educational Disadvantage, Homelessness, & Mental Health

Hello and welcome, here’s a bit about me.

My name is Matt Vapor and I’m the founder and owner of Beneath the Surface. As part of my work I’m an educator, speaker, writer and consultant.

I create workshops, talks, write & consult on many issues that have affected my life in the past. I use my experiences to educate, inform, empathise, help & motivate others to change their lives. Topics include:

☑️ Domestic Abuse
☑️ Domestic Violence
☑️ Homelessness
☑️ Mental Health
☑️ Educational Disadvantage

I’m also currently writing my first book, the Black Mask, which explores the above issues in detail and how it has affected my self image which manifested as a Black Mask of aggression, self hatred and loathing. Additionally, it outlines my motivations for change and the actions I had to undertake to become the person I am today.
