  • I am a former child in care all my life.  What I didn't know then but I do know now, is that I am breaking past cycles of intergeneraltional trama.

    -- Keeshia Bernard, Eskasoni

  • Working with the social workers inspired me to want to do my Bachelor of Social Work, which I received from St. Thomas University.  I then became a social worker in intake and investigations which inspired me to want to pursue my Masters of Social Work, which I'm currently enrolled in right now.
