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 with the Mental Health System and education in Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance & Commitment Training 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.
I help facilitate several groups at the Youth Wellness Centre as well, including YWC Socials and SAGE (Support around Gender Experience)
