Ep 264: Andrew Gabriel Former NSW Public Guardian: Building Trust with Vulnerable Young People.
About this episode
Andrew Gabriel discusses his transition from NSW Public Guardian to teaching vulnerable young people, emphasizing trust and dignity.
A career spent at the sharp end of human services tends to clarify your priorities. After decades in executive roles across the sector, Andrew eventually served as NSW Public Guardian, leading an organisation safeguarding the rights and dignity of people who depend on others to make decisions in their best interest. Andrew then made a late career change by transitioning to the ‘best job in the world’ – being a teacher. Working in alternative education with young people who don’t always fit neatly into other settings, his approach is grounded in nervous system support —creating calm, predictable and empowering environments and taking every available opportunity to treat young people with dignity and respect.
