Kate Barrelle
Dr Kate Barrelle is a clinical and forensic psychologist. Along with Bec Scott, Kate is the co-founder of STREAT, a food-system social enterprise in Melbourne that provides holistic support, training and work experience to disadvantaged and at-risk young people (www.streat.com.au). As a Work Integrated Social Enterprise, STREAT runs a portfolio of hospitality and urban agriculture businesses in which the young people do their training. STREAT is the backbone organisation in a collective impact network of for-purpose environmental and social actors working towards a fair, regenerative and connected food system. Kate is passionate about disengagement from violent extremism, behaviour change and impact measurement. Her PhD research involved in-depth interviews with former extremists about leaving violent extremist groups and how they re-connected to their families and society afterwards. Kate also consults to grassroots organisations, families, NGOs, service providers, and police and government about evidence-based early intervention and how systems can assist young people who might be at risk. She is also the handler of Magic, the therapy dog at STREAT.
