“Powerful and transformative…I wholeheartedly recommend Melinda and Marshall to any school”

I was delighted to receive this wonderful endorsement from Shire Christian School, NSW, following a recent engagement as part of a 3-week tour across 4 states addressing students, staff, parents/community and taking part in major education, trauma and harmful se*ual behaviours conferences.

My co-presenter Dr Marshall Ballantine-Jones and I provide educators, parents and students with specialist understanding on:

  • The impacts of se*ualised media, body image, mental health + relationships
  • Addictions including gaming
  • The impact of p*rn on the adolescent brain
  • Se*tortion, AI/deepfakes, chatbots, grooming
  • Negative online influencers
  • Harmful se*ual behaviours
  • Coercive control, red and green flags

We help young people clarify values, build respectful relationships, develop healthy habits and set boundaries.

I also have a high-level offering with child safeguarding specialist and lawyer Maha Melhem on ‘Responding effectively to harmful s*xual behaviours – what school leaders need to know’.  Maha and I co-edited the S*xual Harassment of Teachers in Schools [SHoT] report published by Collective Shout in partnership with parenting educator and author Maggie Dent recently.

You can learn more about what Maha and I offer.
