About

I am currently managing a National Employment Service focused on connecting skilled and motivated individuals living with mental illness to vacant jobs in their communities. The services are available in Toronto, York region, Niagara, Ottawa, Vancouver, Sannich, Mid Islands, Nanaimo, Winnipeg, St.Johns, Charlottetown, Kings County and Fredericton. Over the next three years we plan to connect 1320 people to meaningful jobs Nationally making Canada a diversified and equitable place for Canadians living with disabilities to work. If you're interested in hearing more or want to be involved in this exciting new initiative taking place Nationally with the Canadian Mental Health Association please connect with me at tbarrie@cmha-toronto.net.
