With more than 25 years of experience across justice, housing and homelessness, and mental health, Robert has led programs across South Australia, the Northern Territory, and the APY Lands.
His vision is to transform trauma and strengthen social and emotional wellbeing by disrupting cycles of hurt and pain, and instead fostering self-care, healing, patience, meaning, purpose, and connection within individuals, families, and communities.
