For over two decades, he has been a counsellor and fierce advocate for youth, families and adults impacted by addictions and mental health.

In Canada, people with a mental illness are twice as likely to have a substance use disorder compared to the general population. Further, at least 20% of people with a mental illness have a co-occurring substance use disorder. As substance-related harms continue to affect families and communities, there is a growing need for timely, accessible addictions and mental health services in Manitoba.
