Wellness Consulting Services and Recent Publications
Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Educator & Researcher
I offer mental health and wellbeing consulting services. Over the years, my work has primarily been in residential settings, including children's camping, youth mental health shelters and wellness hubs, and gender-based violence shelters.
​
This work has included the following:
- Mental health and wellbeing 101 Training
- Training for working with distressed and distressing individuals
- Training for crisis de-escalation and response
- Mental health literacy training for young adults
- Working with staff and boards on tiered supports plans for wellbeing and mental health response / referral ("pathways in and pathways out")
- Debriefing and stabilization for workplaces that have experienced traumatic loss
- On - call mental health and wellness supports, as needed
In my consulting work, I focus on teaching teams of all ages and experiences to confidently support individuals in distress through a structured, tiered plan that clarifies the necessary steps for effective intervention. I provide training to ensure that team members feel informed and capable, while also offering on-call guidance, referrals, and clarity for more complex situations, emphasizing the importance of timely support. My goal is to ensure that organizations have access to knowledgeable resources that align with their values and operations, preventing delays in assistance during crises.
