A BIT ABOUT US

Nurture is headed up by our director Vere Lambert-Morris, who has over 18 years experience working in both the UK and Australia with marginalised youth in the justice and out-of-home care systems, as well as adults with disabilities.  He started Nurture to address the lack of creativity in trauma focused service delivery and provide an individualised and flexible support option to marginalised groups. 
Currently completing a PhD in Criminology and Criminal Justice at Griffith University, Vere has experience teaching undergraduates, delivering professional development for the Queensland Police Service, and as a researcher on projects covering issues such as young driver attitudes and the needs of indigenous prisoners with disabilities. Behind Vere is a small, hand picked team of similarly experienced and passionate individuals from the fields of social work, psychology and education. The shared objective is to support marginalised communities and those working with them, through a relational and trauma focused approach.
