Submissions to BC and Canadian Governments

I have made several submissions to the BC government and the Canadian government on public interest issues, such as child and youth mental health, legal aid, poverty, budget consultations, and medical assistance in dying (#maid). 

The full submissions have not been published as they contain sensitive information related to my professional practice experience as a social worker and/or personal information to highlight how specific public policies, or laws, have impacted people I have known in my personal life.
