School of Population Health

My research program focuses on strengthening how health and social systems prevent and respond to violence, abuse and early life adversity. As a public health researcher, clinical psychology registrar and educator, I bring research and practice together to embed trauma- and violence-informed care in the everyday work of health, education and community services.

Using implementation science, co-design, cohort studies and intervention trials, my research develops and tests approaches that build evidence for prevention, early intervention, and recovery models of care. Recently, my work has focused on supporting organisations to build supportive cultures through workforce development, peer-support and peer-led initiatives, and approaches that promote collective care for safer, more inclusive workplaces and communities.
