Barb has her certificate in Children’s Grief and Bereavement and has been facilitating peer support groups for eight years with Friendship in Action, Strong Minds Strong Kids, Psychology Canada, and The Nightingale Centre for Grieving Children, Youth & Families.  As a former documentary filmmaker and partner with Lynx Images, she is well versed in building bridges of understanding and communication.  Essential to her documentary work was being open to all perspectives and creating an atmosphere in which people felt comfortable to be authentic and to tell their story. 

As a facilitator, Barb is excited to help groups of peers develop a shared feeling of trust in which they can speak their emotional truths, listen to one another with empathy and compassion and connect in a warm and supportive way.
