Peter Smyth

Social Worker

There is so much potential to open dialogue and shift practice to serve youth better, while honouring what the youth are telling us. This is important work and the more we understand the importance of relationshsips, the more we appreciate the experiences of youth, the more we truly implement trauma-informed practice, the more we appreciate the benefits of harm reduction, and the more we build on strengths, the more meaningful our work with this awesome population of youth can be--the better we can honour their voices. I also get to work with a steering committee of like-minded and passionate people which is good for the soul.
