Background

About Christina Cavera

I recently completed the Child and Youth Care program at Sheridan College and graduated with High Honours. I previously graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Sociology. I am passionate about pursuing a career in the mental health field where I can help treat children, youth, and families in need of mental health support. From my three years of experience in the mental health field and my education, I have developed many professional skills that I believe I can bring to an agency providing treatment to children, youth and families with mental health needs. I have acquired experience in a variety of milieus, including residential treatment setting, community setting, and school setting, and worked with children and adolescents, and families with a variety of mental health concerns. I have facilitated a number of trauma-informed and psycho-educational groups on health, wellness, and mental health related topics to support client’s treatment needs. I have worked within many multi-disciplinary teams and gathered feedback on how I can continue to grow as a Child and Youth Care Practitioner. My empathetic personality and passion for supporting children, youth and families with mental health needs demonstrates how I can positively benefit to the mental health field. I am eager to start my career and continue to grow as a helping professional so I can contribute to the needs of the community.
