I have carried an interest in social justice from my childhood. Over time, this passion has grown into a fierce, determined drive to support and protect the human rights of all people. My work has allowed me to channel this passion through developing content and delivering training, education and primary prevention to other practitioners.
I have developed training to support practitioners in the mental health and AOD sectors to respond safely and effectively to clients using and experiencing domestic and family violence, by understanding how each of these factors can influence a person’s presentation
My training is tailored to your organisation’s needs, and is designed to increase your team’s confidence to use an informed domestic and family violence ‘lens’ to recognise and support clients appropriately.
Training includes an in-depth exploration of the social and gendered contributors to domestic and family violence and the complex interplay of these factors with a person’s mental health contributors.
Ideal for people working with clients or those with a desire to learn how to support people using or experiencing domestic and family violence. It includes working with people who use violence and abuse safely and effectively, without unintentional collusion. Training is designed to increase your team’s confidence to use an informed domestic and family violence ‘lens’ to recognise and support clients appropriately. If applicable to your context, training also addresses how to effectively work with people at the intersection of DFV, mental health and addiction. Content explores the drivers of domestic and family violence, and how participants can contribute to the prevention of violence in our culture.
Increase knowledge of gender equality by exploring real-world content, and myth-busting evidence. Training will enable participants to apply, support and promote gender equity in the workplace and beyond.
Consent training focuses on the fundamentals of a healthy, consensual sexual relationship. It gives young people (and people who care for them or work with them) the language to appropriately engage in conversations about consent and respect.
Challenge biases and stereotypes that contribute to racism by understanding the systemic, political and social contributors to racism in Australia. Anti-racism training builds capability of participants to examine their own privilege and experiences and use this to inform their anti-racism practices and dismantle systems of oppression. Training is informed by my own lived experience as a woman of colour, alongside best-practice frameworks for creating safe, inclusive workplaces.
Explore various dimensions of diversity (race, ethnicity, gender, age, ability) and develop strategies to recognise and respect differences. Training includes capability building to create an inclusive workplace culture and prevent psychological injury through psychosocial safety and risk assessment.
All training programs include an element of bystander empowerment. Bystanders are integral in the pursuit of social justice, and equipping people with the skills to recognise and respond when faced with challenging behaviour is the key to positive cultural change, in any context. Bystander training is accessible and interactive to promote participation and ongoing motivation to engage.
I acknowledge the Kombumerri Saltwater people of the Yugumbeh language group as the traditional custodians of the land on which I live and work. I acknowledge the Aboriginal peoples who cared for this land for thousands of years before colonisation, and pay respect to their elders, past, present and future. I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and this was and always will be Aboriginal land.
