Transformational

Every moment I have spent learning about PVT in the flagship Certificate Course these past few months has transformed the way I see my work and myself. I would also like to express my gratitude for the many opportunities for connection in our pod group, and the safe enough spaces that were gracefully cultivated.

I am very grateful to be here. I am here to take my existing work with children and young mothers with less or no access to mental health support and expand it to young fathers going through substance use and systemic trauma. Gratitude!
