Natasha Halliday

I have worked for years as a mental health practitioner, specifically in acute mental health for over 20 years. I started out in community settings, including residential treatment homes and community agencies, working with 'at risk' youth in Toronto's east end. I have worked with children, youth and adults, but focused the bulk of my practice, working with youth at local hospitals, both in inpatient and outpatient programs.

With this experience, I have developed a passion for helping others build and foster resilience. I share the benefit of my experience teaching at a local College. Additionally, I speak on resilience at conferences, symposiums, mental health forums, seminars and workshops.

We cannot avoid adversity; however, we can respond in ways that don’t destroy us; that’s where I come in.
