Embrace The Journey Support Services

Having started my career as a lived experience worker​,​ I understand the challenges of living with and supporting those close to us experiencing chronic illness and injury including ill mental health. I then moved into supporting children and young people in out of home care before moving into various management roles and finally starting my own business. It was my experiences within these roles that I developed a true passion for supporting those navigating their own challenges. I have worked extensively within government and non-government agencies​,​ I understand the complexity that is often encountered when navigating these systems and offer advocacy support as an additional service. I am able to offer complex report writing for court in addition domestic violence perpetrator mapping through the use of domestic violence informed Safe and Together model My practice framework is underpinned by ecological systems theory that places the individual at the centre of the systems that surrounds them​,​ looking at each aspect of the individual's life and identifying what is working​,​ what isn't and what gaps need bridging in order to build confidence in navigating life's challenges. Complementing this is the use of a strengths based​,​ trauma informed focus that enables identification of existing strengths and resilience in the context of traumatic experiences.
