Hi I'm Jess
Founder & director ,Mum to 5.
I have 20 years experience working across various early childhood & community services notably disabilty, Aboriginal family services and Residential Youth specialising in trauma informed care approach.
Ohana Community Services exists as a result of my experiences & realisation that living with a disability is traumatic for many people due to stigma and having to interact with systems not designed for their needs and preferences
My vision is to support &create environments & communities that support authentic inclusion that meaningfully action our values of kindness, fairness and social justice.
I believe that to achieve true inclusion , we must see every individual as having inherent value and capable of growth and development.
