My name is Petrina! Here's what to expect:

 Welcome! It's nice to meet you 😊 Thanks for taking the time to check out my site!

If you'd like to know a little more about me, feel free to check out my website, Calder Mental Health Services. The short version is that I'm an occupational therapist who provides mental health services (psychotherapy, counselling, consulting, coaching) to people living in Alberta, Canada. I have 12 years of experience and I love what I do! My mission is to provide purposeful, effective, non-judgmental and accepting mental health support to adults who are struggling with life's challenges.

In service of that mission, the purpose of this site is to share ideas, experiences, and resources that may be helpful. Helpful, or interesting, or amusing. Here's what to expect in my posts:

• The Reference Library - These posts will be an overview of a book I've found helpful. Some books are so good they're worth sharing. 📚
• The A.V Department - Links to content by other creators that I think are worth consuming. 🖥 🎧 📑
• The (self-) Maintenance Team - Foundational practices that are recommended for the care and maintenance of a well-functioning human being. 🛌 💧 🏋 🏃 👥 💌 🥦 🍎 💩 
• The Gratitude Division - A monthly recap of things I'm grateful for; let's spread the word and find our joy again. 🐶 🎮 💃 📗 

If there's a particular topic you'd like to see covered or if you have feedback about something I've posted, feel free to leave a comment.

Does this all seem a bit silly?

Maybe it is, but "the night is dark and full of terrors" already. Let's try and find some light!
