Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I have over ten years of experience working with people with behavioural and mental health issues. My over 9 years of experience leading teams and managing all forms of behaviour from mild to extreme has given me the courage and competence to push boundaries for what is possible in everything I do.
PAVE provides consultation services for families and community members who are dealing with any kind of behaviour issues with children and youth. Our goal is to invigorate communities and families so they can effectively foster and support all individuals to achieve their fullest potential.
My role in this job was to coordinate and manage the short-term emergency care of at-risk youth. Time windows for interventions to improve the quality of life for these youth were extremely short yet disproportionately effective.
I was charged with coordinating and managing a group home and staff team put in place to support at-risk youth on a temporary, emergency-care basis. We had very short time window to make a positive impact on the lives of the most vulnerable population in society and we developed an extremely effective methodology for achieving this goal.
I worked (usually alone) in a full-time position caring and cooking for a large home for 13 men who had chronic schizophrenia.
