Due to my own inter-generational trauma, I have been supporting men’s wellness for over 20 years. I have also been supporting Indigenous clients for over 10 years. More recently, in my work as Wellness Counsellor & Facilitator at Round Lake Treatment Centre, I have been specifically supporting Indigenous clients who have experienced inter-generational trauma (cultural, sexual, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual abuses, neglect, abandonment, shame, and grief & loss). As a result, my clients present with addiction, anxiety, depression, isolation, self-harm/suicide ideation, anger, and other co-occurring disorders.

From an ecological perspective, I observe the many factors that contribute to the difficulties men face including the microsystem lens (family of origin, close relationships) through to the macrosystem and chronosystem lens (attitudes, ideologies, socioeconomic status, and life transitions). I also look at how we react to challenges and trauma, and how those around us are impacted.
I have navigated many challenges throughout my life, and I too had to learn to seek help. I wasn’t used to accepting help, but once I did, my mental health improved. Growing up as an introvert in a low-income, fatherless home, the odds were against me. I lacked confidence, example, and support. Once I decided to take the risk, I was able to reclaim my agency.
