About Akilah Henry

I am a dedicated RPN with 2 years of experience working at CAMH in withdrawal management services. My passion lies in providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals navigating detox and early recovery. I specialize in supporting patients through the complex physical and emotional challenges of withdrawal, while prioritizing safety, dignity, and person-centered care.Working closely with interdisciplinary teams, I provide medical monitoring, administer withdrawal protocols, and advocate for trauma-informed, harm-reduction approaches. I am committed to creating a supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered on their recovery journey.Whether responding to acute withdrawal symptoms, collaborating on care plans, or educating patients and families, I strive to deliver high-quality, empathetic care that fosters trust and hope.I’m always looking to grow my skills in mental health and addictions nursing and contribute to initiatives that advance equitable, patient-centered recovery services.
