Hello, my name is Tanisha, my pronouns are She/Her.

I am a Child and Youth Care Practitioner, I studied at Loyalist College.

I consider myself to be a very positive person and always try my hardest to find the brighter side of any given situation. I also like to spread my optimism to others who have a hard time seeing the brighter side of things, or to people who struggle with mental health, I love seeing people happy, and enjoying life. This is something I believe everyone deserves.

After a couple years out of school as started my own little family, I knew that I wanted to help Children, Youth's and Families.

As I learned how to heal from past traumas, I found myself wanted to help other out with Mental Health, Single Parents and Learning problems because in a way I can connect with others about this, as growing up I never had that support person that I needed, but now that I am in my third year of Child and Youth Care, I am excited to become that support person that someone needs and teaching different activities.

In our Facilitating Group Course,
Mt peers and I came up with a program on Gental Mental Health, that we could do as a group session.
With this, I have learnt about how to plan group sessions, how to work as a team and how to run a session.

Feedback:
Good job! Your program design was organized, and you had some great activities. It was lacking some components (such as the rationale of why the group is needed, how each activity relates to the topic/stage, flyers/brochures, references and evaluation forms) and the instructions for each week were repetitive and lacking detail; however, I could see the benefits of delivering this program. Well done. – Leah

For my Advocacy course, we had to pick a project.
I did mine on spoons theory, this is for someone with chronic illness to complete daily tasks with a limited number of spoons, I made a little change and focus it on mental health and using the spoons to get your daily tasks done, I added an emotion chart, with this there will be a booklet that you can use every day to keep track of the tasks and your emotions.

This is what my rough draft looks like for right now, as this is going to be one of my life goals, that I would like to complete.

Dear Tanisha
Well done! Your Mental Health Tool Kit project and product was a good example of self-advocacy. A timely topic given how COVID not only created mental health challenges for many people but the very activities that contributed to their mental health (human connection with social networks or social service supports) were no longer accessible to people. You provided a simple way for participants to do a self-assessment using facial expressions from sad/poor MH to happy/good mental health. It was also wise to include the crisis number and App to indicate that this tool has limitations, people who experiencing a mental health crisis should reach out for professional support. The tool you created is an easy, accessible way to address one's mental health through self-care. I encourage you to continue to fine tune this, Tool Kit.
A few suggestions. It would help to be a little clearer that there are a limited number of Spoons/energy (12) to complete activities and tasks. per day. As well it would have been helpful to make clearer the option a person has to replenish the spoons through self-care.
Again, well done!

When working at Brighton Public School, I helped teach the grade three class about zones of regulation.

I help work on the blue zone and yellow zone of regulation, I picked out three questions and asked how they would feel for ex, It's Christmas Morning, what zone are you in and what is the feeling you are having?

I came up with the whole school, to design their own shirts for the pink shirt day project.
With this, I send out an email to all the teachers in the school,
I made sure that everyone would be good with this project that I wanted to do, I handed out information, that had a video about Kindness, with questions after they watched the video and talked about it, they were able to start their shirts.
on the shirts it said B.P.S WE ARE.... and they had to come up with saying or drawing.

I was very proud of myself for this project that I was given to do.

Shaving Cream Art Closure at Brighton Public School.

With one of the classes that I helped support, we did shave cream art because they love getting messy and being my first time ever doing the shaving cream paint, it with amazing, and for being my last day, I thought this closure would be the best one as it got everyone working together, taking turns and positive comment to each other.

Activity Closure.

for this closure, I made up little activity for the student that helped support.

these activity were, match the easter eggs, build a cup cake, build a duck, build a bunny, and a flit board.

On my last day, I put different activity out on different tables, the child that I was help support did come to each table, I did have to remind her that there was a build a duck.
I was very excited when I saw her go and look at them and start to building and matching eggs together.
