What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I am a peer support outreach worker. I have a BSW and MSW as I worked as a social worker for many years in child welfare, mental health and addictions.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
Krasman Centre is a independent consumer survivor initiative and all of our different programs are based on the peer support model of care. We provide peer support to people sixteen years and older dealing with mental health, addictions and homelessness.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I recently offered an eight week trauma peer group/workshop and used some of the material from ACEs for my research in delivering the group. I have attended two of Dr. Gabor Mate's conferences and have used some of his videos many times in the past.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
No I am not.
