My Role at the YWC:
Hello! I am a Child and Youth Care Practitioner & Certified Peer Supporter for the Prism Support Stream.
I use my Lived experience and training within the Mental Health System to support Peers in developing hope, self-determination, effective coping skills/ self-care strategies and work to provide support with any wellness goals identified during our work together.
I am also responsible for keeping our website up to date, and act as the staff liaison for the Youth Council.
My main passion and responsibility through my work in my stream of service is helping create community through the various groups I help facilitate at the Youth Wellness Centre:
Prism Support Group, SAGE (Support Around Gender Experience), Future Planning Workshops and our Monthly YWC Peer Socials.
Best Advice I’ve ever recieved:
Set boundaries, find peace.
Also, get a cat!
