Reverse Mentoring Pilot Program
Designed & Developed by Geraldine Bilston
The program puts lived experience leadership into practice and aims to develop client-centered practice in practitioners while flipping traditional power dynamics between survivors and practitioners.
Wisdom in Practice was independently evaluated across its first year, with many positive findings.
In 2023, the program was rolled out to three sites and is now being run in across Bayside and Southern Melbourne regions.
The program was mentioned in the Victorian Premier’s media release in July 2024: https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2024-07/240712-More-Frontline-Workers-To-Address-Family-Violence.pdf.
Wisdom in Practice is copyrighted and trademarked, agencies are running the program in Victoria under a 12-month licensing agreement.
