Niin telosi Bernadette Ward!
My Mikmaq name is “Daughter of the Dawn.” I am a proud member of Metepenagiag First Nation, the Village of Thirty Centuries. I graduated with Honours from St. Thomas University’s Mi’kmaq Maliseet Bachelor of Social Work Program in 2020. I’ve spent the last four years helping children and their families heal! Now, in the MSW program at Wilfrid Laurier University Indigenous Field of Study, I am excited to strengthen my counselling skills and broaden my knowledge of healing. I am also concentrating on working in play therapy, and I can not wait to support your little ones in playing through their big emotions and finding regulation within. On our journey, I look forward to supporting your child and you!
Fun Fact: Those are my Auntie Margaret’s Moccasins!
