• Queering practice: Foundations of working for and with LGBTIQA+ people in violence prevention and responses. The aim of this workshop is to create dialogue and reflection focused on working with and for LGBTIQA+ people and communities. Bringing together theory, practice, and lived experience, this workshop will assist practitioners in expanding knowledge to inform practice. It will invite practitioners to critically reflect on how their own marginalisation or privileges may show up in the work.• Working with men using violence.

Supervision

I have experience supervising teaching teams, group facilitators, staff, and student placements. I am currently available for external, clinical supervision for domestic violence practitioners and leaders. For those engaging in group work or other intervention with men who use violence, I am an experienced Senior Facilitator and qualified to observe and supervise in accordance with QLD's Perpetrator Intervention Service Requirements (2021). I will work with you in developing a supervision structure that works for your needs, including arranging live or recorded group observation if requested. My Supervision of practitioners working with persons using violence is guided by the Supervision Resource Guide, which I co-authored. I also deliver training on the use of this resource.

Consulting

I am available for consultation with your organisation on a range of issues. I have recently consulted with non-profit organisations to provide expertise on the design and development of perpetrator intervention group programs and individual counselling, evaluation design, as well as matters of LGBTIQ+ inclusion in domestic violence responses and prevention. I am interested in assisting organisations in developing and assessing intersectional and evidence-based approaches to domestic and family violence system responses.
