In her current role, Clare leads a team dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with disabilities through evidence-based, trauma-informed behaviour support. She is committed to addressing the complex intersection of mental health and disability, advocating for better recognition of mental health needs among NDIS participants, and reducing diagnostic overshadowing.
