Libby is a dedicated advocate for social impact, committed to empowering individuals and strengthening communities. With a career spanning over 15 years, she has worked across the disability, mental health, youth homelessness, and Out-of-Home Care sectors, building and strengthening her understanding of a trauma-informed approach with every role.
Libby’s passion for supporting young people and marginalised communities has been a driving force throughout her career. She has worked in roles that directly support vulnerable individuals, from assisting young people at risk of disengaging from education to facilitating safe and stable placements for children in Out-of-Home Care. Since being introduced to Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) in 2021, she has seen firsthand how its principles can transform the well-being of children, young people, their families, and carers. Now, as a TCI Trainer, Libby is committed to supporting leaders and teams implementing the TCI system to do so with fidelity within their organisation, as well as equipping caregivers with the skills to respond to crisis situations with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based strategies.
Beyond her work in social services, Libby has also played a key role in driving cultural change. Previously, Libby worked for a creative agency producing authentically inclusive content for Australia’s leading brands, advocating for greater representation of people with disability in the screen industry. She has also served as Chair of the Board for Listen Up Music, a national charity that empowers music industry professionals to develop and maintain positive mental health.
Libby holds a Bachelor of Public Communication and is a TCI Trainer.
