He works in private practice at Wayville in South Australia as a mentor to young people, a coach to parents, and a teacher educator. He is often invited as a critical friend into schools who want to develop this deeper humane ethos. Mark regularly presents at conferences for universities, schools, for parent organisations, corporations, and interested groups throughout Australia and further afield.
He is the recipient of the prestigious Australia Day Council's 2022 Senior South Australian of the Year award. His generosity and consideration for others was recognised as profound, far reaching, life changing and lifesaving. He's helped many families, and has improved the self-worth, mental health, and life outcomes of children, adolescents, parents, and educators.
His passion is inspired by the hurt and confusion young people feel as they face unexpected, unfair, and unkind challenges in life. The books and programs he's written illustrate his wild drive to share his understandings about young human beings with their significant others, namely their parents and educators. He writes in his book, TEACHING VALUES of BEING HUMAN –
Now it's our turn to be the adults. Whether we accept it or not we are holding the baton. And our children... well, they're just that... they are children, and they are relying on us. Their brains, bodies, and spirit are in the process of precious construction. The atoms which merged to make them who they are did so like never before, and will never do so again. There will never be another of them anywhere in the universe. We want them to rejoice in their humanness, and know they are so much more than enough.
This is their birthright and our responsibility.
"I am blessed to know you all, parents, educators, colleagues and friends, because every time our paths cross, you enrich and strengthen me." - Mark
