It's with a heavy heart and some profound sadness that I have to say, it's our last day operating as a Centre. I am so thankful for all of the families, children, caregivers and colleagues I have had the opportunity to teach and learn from throughout these years. It has been an honour to work with you and I hope that we have made a positive impact on your lives.
My next adventure....I will continue to offer my services as a Clinical Counsellor and will continue to practice in a very small way as a parent coach/ home based support for families. I will be working with Island Health at their Ledger House Inpatient Mental Health program for children and youth. It's exciting to be back at Queen Alexandra in this new capacity.....and I will dearly miss all the amazing work we did at our centre.
Thank you all for the ability to work with your families❤❤❤
