I am a Mental health nurse with national certification through the Canadian Nursing Association. I have a Bachelor's degree in Nursing and a Masters degree in Adult Education. I have been a practicing nurse for 14 years. The last six years have been in the field of Mental Health. I believe that all of us are on a continuum of mental health and that we benefit from remembering certain key things. Those key things will be the focus of the resources you will find on this website. There will be a combination of worksheets I've created, beneficial sites, and power point presentations. The topics will include: mindfulness, assertive communication, challenging distortions, setting boundaries, managing distressed clients, and relaxation/managing anxiety. I recommend you use the resources yourself to determine if they are relevant, applicable, and useful to your clients. Thank you for your interest.
