In this episode I speak with Tony, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and founder of the Child Protection Party, which came about due to his commitment to working with families who have had their children removed. Tony has worked in generalist and gambling rehabilitation counselling services, was a founding member of the Confronting Violence and Abuse Group which provided a team of group facilitators to work with men who have been violent and abusive. Tony also worked as a facilitator with the Northern Violence and Intervention Program, has presented the “What to do about anger” program at Relationships Australia, and has written many programs including, Moving On from Separation and Divorce, Step-parenting, Raising Boys, How to Handle Anxiety and Stress, the Game Perspective, Workplace Bullying. He has had an article published in the AASW Social Work Journal entitled, “The Reverse Role Play – An innovative way to work with violent men”.
