ABOUT

Hey there! I’m Rachel Tickner, the founder and heart behind Fortitude Families. With a background in behavioural sciences and criminology, I’m fiercely passionate about helping parents, caregivers, and professionals get the tools they need to raise resilient kids and create strong, safe families. I’ve spent over a decade in the trenches, working with families and professionals, so trust me – I get it, and I’ve got you.

 

I’m all about no-fluff, real-world advice backed by research and years of experience. The world of child development, safety, and trauma can feel like a whirlwind of white noise. I cut through the noise with practical, straightforward, and approachable guidance. You’ll leave our sessions feeling empowered and confident, ready to tackle the challenges ahead.

 

At Fortitude Families, we’re on a mission to create stronger families. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, or a professional working with kids, you’ll find everything here to help you support the young people in your life. You’re in good hands with us, and together, we can make generational change happen. Let’s get cracking on building safer, stronger families, one step at a time.
