CLEAR MENTAL HEALTH WELCOMES YOU

Quality Learning Tailored to You

Do you know how to help someone living with a mental illness?  Do you feel comfortable speaking with someone about their mental health?  Do you want to know what resources help people?  I can teach you all of these skills and so much more!

I have a solid background, including degrees in psychology and education with a specialization in community rehabilitation and disability studies.  I have three teaching certificates and have trained diverse learners.  I also supported adults with disabilities and mental health issues for eighteen years.   Click below to contact me about public speaking events and Mental Health First Aid!

Let me introduce myself with this brief video!

I am not a licensed therapist or counsellor. I do not provide medical or clinical advice.  If you have questions about your health, kindly consult your physician or mental health professional.  If you need to speak with a nurse, call 811.  If you need crisis support, call the Distress Centre at 403-266-4357.  If it is an emergency,  call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

I am grateful to honour the Indigenous Peoples in Treaty 7 territory: the Blackfoot confederacy: (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani); the Îyâxe Nakoda (Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Wesley) and Tsuut’ina nations; as well as the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.  Their stewardship kept this land pristine for countless generations.  We are all treaty people.  Reconciliation is an ongoing process of healing and honouring those who came before us and what they endured.  Learn about my own reconciliation projects here.
