Ducks and Lions: Trauma Sensitive Resources

Blends Lived Experience with Educational Expertise

Melissa’s personal journey as a parent of a child impacted by trauma adds authenticity and relatability to her teaching. Combined with her extensive academic and professional background, she offers a well-rounded, deeply informed perspective that resonates with both new and experienced educators.

Focuses on Practical, Trauma-Informed Strategies for Real Classrooms

Rather than theoretical overviews, Melissa provides practical, ready-to-use techniques for managing classrooms, building emotional safety and supporting students with challenging behaviours. Her tools are actionable and grounded in what works for teachers facing the daily realities of education.

Prioritises Educator Wellbeing and Self-Care

Melissa’s work goes beyond student support to focus on the emotional health of educators. Her sessions explore compassion fatigue, burnout prevention and the importance of sustainable self-care practices. She helps educators recognise their emotional limits and build routines that allow them to thrive in the long term.
