I am Psychology student with lived mental health experience. I have peer support and other related training. I currently co facilitate From Recovery to Discovery with SSNS and a Bi Polar Peer Support group at the QE2 hospital. I have worked previously with the Canadian Mental Health Association in the Annapolis Valley while also studying at Acadia University. I also had the opportunity to sit in on the Schizophrenia Society’s Annapolis Valley Chapter board. |
