The new website is up and running, what is this page, what is the point? Glad you asked.

I come to your organisation, school or work place to speak with your people. I tailor the talks to the audience, your audience, including discussing with you beforehand what your needs are, and what you would like us to discuss.

American and Canadian research suggests as many as three-quarters of female victims of domestic violence have suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI), with some experts estimating up to 20 million women in the US sustain TBIs through partner violence every year — 11 to 12 times the number experienced by athletes and military personnel combined.

The next frontier of Australia's concussion crisis isn't on the football field, but in homes across the country, where victims of domestic violence are sustaining brain injuries at staggering rates.

We want to deep dive into a definition of the word that will hopefully give them a fresh way to measure the relationships they see around them.

We also want to talk to them about why respect applies to all human beings (therefore they cannot lose the right to be treated with respect), and look at some practical responses that they might make if they were in a difficult situation.
