A few of my favourite quotes in honour of mental health month 🧠✨

03/24/2025

In honour of social work month, here are some important pieces of information relating to social work services, psychotherapy, and counselling. Many clients inquire about the difference between these terms and the differences between mental health professionals in the field. My hope is that this information is helpful. Please feel free to comment below or reach out for any other questions or curiosities.

Happy National Social Work Month! March is coming to an end and I’ve been reflecting on all of the challenging yet rewarding opportunities I’ve been afforded as a social worker. I’ve worked in residential treatment, foster care, the school board, applied behavioural analysis centres, community mental health and addiction services, in-patient treatment, a family health team, secure custody, several group practices, and now in my own practice. I am so very grateful for all of the incredible social workers I have met along the way. Don’t forget to thank a social worker this month. 🤍🙏

As the OASW is saying: “wherever you are, so are we.”

Leaving my full time position at the Homewood Health Centre in the TSICP-Guardians program this week has allowed me to reflect on all of the incredible people I have had the privilege of working alongside, as well as the amazing patients I was able to support through individual and group therapy. I have developed a great passion for supporting the FRMV population, and I will forever be grateful for my time there. I am so proud and so honoured to be able to continue supporting this population in my practice.

Helping those who help us is one of the most rewarding parts of this work.

Here’s a few reminders for us all to consider as we enter the holiday season.

Special thank you to our first responders and front line staff who work over the holidays to help keep our communities safe and taken care of.

And a special thanks to my friend and colleague who joined me in this door decorating contest at work! We loved dressing up these snowmen as first responders and military members! 😀❄️
