My approach honors and builds upon local wisdom, expertise and solutions.
I acknowledge the harm caused by racism, sexism, classism, ableism and other forms of structural oppression. And I actively work to affect my own personal, interpersonal and community environments to dismantle and addresses these harms.
I believe in a “rights-based approach” to mental health and wellbeing. This means I work to ensure both the availability, relevancy and accessibly to quality mental health care services, while create an enabling environment to reduce stigma, discrimination, violence and inequity.
