My Recovery Story

I was diagnosed with PTSD and depression in 2010. I found support through peers,suportive housing and psychosocial clubhouses for people with mental illness. Since then I have found stable employment since (2015), developed quality friendships and became a peer worker to help others. In addition I am a health coach and a personal trainer wich were long standing personal goals.

My Motivation To Help

peer support was an integral part of my own health and recovery. It taught me about advocacy and the 8 dimensions of wellness. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to use my lived exsperience to help someone else acheive their vision of recovery.
