Leading With Living Experience

Driven by her own personal experiences with illness, stigma, and recovery, Hayley chose to turn her passion for mental wellness into her career. Through her dedication to the work in the field, she has accumulated extensive expertise and knowledge in how to create safe conversation and support others.

Hayley has had the pleasure of working with a variety of public and private sector organizations across Canada, delivering keynote presentations, educational workshops, and providing direct peer support program services. In addition, her passion inspired her to co-create a workshop entitled ‘Supporting Through Struggle™,' which teaches people how to have meaningful conversations and support others during tough times.

As someone who has lived through, and continues to navigate the challenges of mental health recovery, Hayley remains committed to sharing her own story about living with illness and how to best support this in the workplace. Her experience enables her to offer practical and effective strategies to supporting others, and ourselves, in difficult moments. 

Hayley continues to use her lived experience to reach others who may also be suffering in silence, reminding them that they are not alone.
