I have worked in mental health and addictions for over 20 years in community and within large mainstream organizations. I practice a decolonizing approach and will work with organizations and communities to design a training package or develop programming that is relevant and responsive to your local context and unique needs.
I offer FREE gambling support services to anyone who lives in the Victoria region. Additionally, I provide supports to any Indigenous person(s) living anywhere in the province of BC who needs gambling supports and wishes to have an Indigenous service provider.

Gambling Addiction Recovery: Opening up and Finding Your Voice
In a recent episode of our podcast, an Indigenous man who participated in our counselling service and Discovery program, shared his story of recovery from alcohol, drug and gambling addiction. He talks about how connecting with his culture and trusting his instincts about when and with whom to open up about trauma helped him to find his strength and his voice. Sharing his story through Fold em is just one of the many ways he is now demonstrating his commitment to helping others.
