 Registered Social Workers, BSW, RSW. University education revolved around learning how to be an agent of change within the integration of socio-political advocacy and activism, law, multicultural competence, intersections of diversity and social justice training. It's important for clients to thereby develop an awareness and understanding of how one's personal situation is affected by and related to socio-economic forces and constraints. Change projects currently include advocating for implementing a truthful and accurate depiction of First Nations history in high school curriculum.
Documentary filmmaking. Film is being used as an educational tool to help produce greater efficiency in service provision and violence prevention work by the RCMP, schools, anti-violence service providers, lawyers and used within the curriculum of the Bachelor of Social Work program at the University of British Columbia-Okanagan.
The Impact of Movement We are inspired by travel and activism to try to create change in different ways including through film documentation. This has led to opportunities in which we have lent a hand to the process of film making of several documentaries. Our approach integrates family systems, narrative, emotion focused therapy (EFT) and Solution-Focused, cognitive behavioral therapies; and uses play therapy techniques and expressive arts when working. We have extensive training in (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and combines Mindfulness Based strategies within CBT as it is also an essential component of our approach to assisting clients to work through emotional upheaval and cope with the challenges of daily life. We are pleased to work with adults, couples, youth, and families.
