Kylie - "For me when working with abusers, I affirm that all individuals hold equal worth and that abusers recognise that their abused have the right to lead an autonomous, self-fulfilled, well lives as they determine. This infiltrates the narrative. I commit to providing a humane and respectful service that is mindful of the potential to do harm to others – abused, children and the abuser. It is my responsibility to respond to the rights, safety and integrity of those in and out of the room. I advocate to change the historic narrative surrounding perpetrators of DFV to improve the lives of women, children and men through evidence and practice experience."
Kylie is accredited in STATIC 99R and STABLE 2000 adult sexual offending assessment tools and draws upon Hall McMaster and Associates Ltd ‘Abusive Practices Checklist’ and schema theories.
