Mark is a counsellor in our Living Without Violence Court Support Program, a behaviour change program for men who use violence and abuse against their partners, children or other family members. In 2022, he was recognised as an Our People award winner for the support he provided clients in the Living Without Violence and Alcohol and Other Drug Counselling programs.
As a professional, Mark has been commended on his ability to quickly build trust and provide care in institutions that would not typically be welcoming to men who have used family and domestic violence. While never minimising their actions, Mark keeps his clients accountable to their own behaviours.
His approach to care is always client-focussed and he has impeccable attention to detail when it comes to listening to his clients and identifying additional supports that can help their progress. Mark has also been commended on his ways of engaging with clients, especially when it comes to working with them in an environment where they feel safe and comfortable to converse with him.
