Valuing the art and science of
caring for the whole person.
The Sense of Safety Project
The Sense of Safety Project and Foundation Course for Practitioners was developed by Dr Johanna Lynch alongside other researchers and collaborators, to embed the concept of Sense of Safety as a whole person, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and healing-oriented approach to health, learning, and public policy.
Meet Dr Johanna Lynch
Speaker, Trainer and Mentor
Johanna is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Queensland who presents internationally and across Australia. She brings practical clinical insight, shaped by her strength-based and trauma-informed approach to the whole person: Sense of Safety. Johanna is passionate about sharing her expertise with medical professionals and students through education, supervision, and mentoring.
Clinician, Researcher and Advocate
As an Australian GP (family doctor) with over 25 years of experience, Johanna has spent the last 15 years developing compassionate, whole-person approaches for those who have survived childhood trauma and neglect. Her clinical work inspired research on the links between life experiences and health. She advocates for primary care that values generalist, whole-person care. Johanna’s PhD was widely recognised as paradigm-changing and has since become an academic book read around the world.
Author, Integrator, Dreamer
Johanna views integrating diverse forms of knowledge as an everyday skill of the generalist. Her work explores connections between mind and body, spirit and community, and reflects her long-standing commitment to whole-person care. These themes are central to her internationally acclaimed PhD on whole-personal approaches to distress in primary care.
