Jane is the CEO of The Odyssey Program which provides in school workshops for adolescent boys. The program offers a safe space for boys to discuss their thoughts, feelings, ideas and dreams that they hold for themselves and the world in which they live.

The pressures our young people feel as they transition from pre-teen – teen – adulthood requires us to support them to navigate their way through this time. Up to date information, real life context, learning through kinetic activities and using best practice in teaching boys is a hallmark of this program.

Since inception the program has been run out across 50 schools nationally and worked with thousands of young men and boys.

2013 has also seen the launch of Inspire for Girls a program aimed at inspiring girls to celebrate their uniqueness while teaching vital skills to manage themselves and the various relationships they may have.

Jane is also an AIMHS Accredited Clinician and a facilitator for You Can Help and a Rock and Water Educator.

Jane is the mother of two boys, lives on the coast of South Australia and is passionate about supporting young people to be their best selves.
