About

Danielle is a survivor of family and domestic violence and abuse where she was able to find the courage, hope and determination from deep within, to pave a new path for herself and her sons. Heartbreakingly, Danielle’s eldest son requires foster care which provides the appropriate distance from triggers and memories to enable for continued healing and recovery. 

From lived experience, Danielle’s journey of learning and self-discovery has had a huge and positive impact on herself, her sons and other survivors whom she has mentored and supported through and beyond FDV.

A part of her journey included undertaking formal qualifications in community services and completing a nationally recognised FDV trainer program to gain the knowledge and tools to successfully advocate, support others and develop meaningful resources and initiatives to help address FDV. 

Her passion is limitless and aims to give hope to other survivors and bridge the gap between government policy and agency support services for those affected by FDV. She does this by actively participating as subject matter expert for public and private sectors such as sitting on the Healthy Relationships Strategy Group and other committees within WA. Danielle is also a regular guest speaker at events to raise awareness and educate the public around FDV.
