Between 2006-2009 she was also a visiting lecturer in South Korea’s professional development program for Social Workers. Jenny has a special interest in working with families affected by sibling sexual abuse and over the past decade has been involved in developing programs to treat harmful sexual behaviours, prevent the continuation of these behaviours, and support children and family relationships to recover from the devastation of sexual abuse.
