Thank you sooo much!!
Of course.
I have a very diverse background in social service mental health and addictions.
Experience:
2 years front line social service working with people ages 15-29 with complex socio-economic barriers. 1 of these years was in program leadership (I was the coordinator of the program).
2 years in integrated mental health and substance use in mental health community organizations and hospital environments working with adults with mental health and addictions challenges.
2 years facilitating group counselling sessions for new immigrants and refugees
4 Years volunteering at a distress line.
References:
1 professors - who was an advocate and a very strong reference. I would say he was a champion for my success and likely made a huge difference in my application.
1 manager - my manager at the hospital I work at - who is also a registered therapist.
Academics -
BA Psych - York - B+ average (i worked throughout university full time - keeping extremely high marks was challenging)
Addictions and Mental Health grad certificate - Durham College 96% average
I hope this helps! Let me know if I can answer anything else or help you with anything else.
