Meet the Fall Forward team

caitlins@fallforwardqld.com.au

Caitlin entered the community services sector over 5 years ago to fulfil her passion of working with young people. She has gained experience across the sector while working alongside people with challenging behaviours, trauma and severe mental health concerns.

Caitlin’s professional knowledge is supported by her experience in Residential Care, Child Safety support services, NDIS and Family Intervention.

Through working with Fall Forward as a Disability Coach her passion for people has flourished. It’s a special thing to have the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life. To be invited into her participants’ space is something she won’t take for granted as it’s an honour to help them find connection, independence and reach their goals with them.

In her downtime she enjoys spending time being present with family, scuba diving and being in nature.

Marissa has a heartfelt devotion seeing others thrive and achieving their desired life goals, however the road to success will always have curve balls and having a community of support will enrich the journey of fulfilment.

Moreover, she has extensive knowledge in the community services industry ranging from high-risk youth, family intervention, residential care, disability care, allied health, management/leadership, and regional management.

Marissa’s passion extends to ensuring a parallel management process is achieved within the organisation. She does not value the old cog in the wheel management approach, each member of the Fall Forward family is an equal valued member including the participants and their support circle.

Marissa enjoys being active, spending time with her family and friends, self-development, and sunny days!
