presentation Working together to engage hard to reach families presenters brief bio Sue Clarke – FHSW, Inglewood

Sue worked as a nurse in paediatrics for 11 years – primarily this consisted of working in an infectious paediatrician ward with primarily indigenous clients. The mothers would ‘live in’ to have care modelled to them and the correct way and amount to provide nutrition. Sue was a parent educator even then. Sue has been with BUSHkids for 25 years and her initial role was to go in as parental support and education. She did follow-up therapies from the therapists at the Redcliffe Centre for those children who had been there as clients and were needing ongoing intervention. Despite numerous changes over the years to her position, but the primary focus of family intervention has remained consistent. Sue completed a women’s indigenous mentoring program and is passionate about working with indigenous clients.

Julie Rathmell – FHSW, DalbyPrior to working with BUSHkids, Julie worked for Education Queensland Jandowae State School as a Teacher’s Aide and Administration Officer, so she naturally leans towards the teaching aspects of her role. One of Julie’s main focus areas in the Dalby area is parenting, “such a big factor in raising well-adjusted children”, and she runs Triple P and Stepping Stones group programs, plus 123 Magic. An area of concern is self-care for mums and Julie runs the Smooth Running Self-Care for Mums program focussing on this aspect. With children being the main focus she offers groups for social skills via the PALS program and the Friends program teaching skills of reliance and how to be with your peers in a friendly way.

presentation Mindfulness and Neuroscience presenter brief bio James Ryan – Pathways to Resilience

James began his working career by dropping out of both an engineering and commerce degree to take up a career in casual retail work at Australian Geographic and various bookstores. After teaching Biology and Studies of Society and the Environment at high school, he ended up teaching special needs and learning support kids because that’s where he felt at home – mixing it up with the kids who were really struggling. After a difficult separation from Education Queensland James became the Training Manager for Pathways to Resilience Trust almost five years ago. He introduced the idea of supporting the work of the Trust with the latest findings in neuroscience and mindfulness research as further ways to explore and cultivate wellbeing. Due to the massive quantity of professional development, reading, scanning, summarising and passing on of information at work, James has introduced the descriptor ‘nerd’ as a compliment and term of endearment for all who work in the training and education fields. The work of making life easier for people through ‘building understanding’ and developing ‘the capacity to act on that understanding’ is his passion in both work and life.
