Since graduating from the Child and Youth Care program at George Brown College, I have been able to apply the knowledge and skills learned throughout my education and Co-op placements to my professional career within the Mental Health Care industry. I have had the opportunity to work in various programs within the Youth Justice and Live-in Treatment settings, which have allowed me to develop my interpersonal skills, writing skills, crisis intervention skills and leadership skills. I am passionate about advocating for youth who are experiencing family difficulties, dual diagnosis, mental health and trauma. I continue to seek new opportunities and challenge myself while in this field.
