Through my outreach work experience and education, I’ve come to understand just how complex the mind can be. With a deep interest in this area, came the stark reality of how mental imbalances can cause a sense of helplessness, isolation, confusion, anger and sadness in the client and loved ones. Rarely have I seen mental illness only affect the select individual - it has almost always touched the lives of friends and family.
The world of mental health can be a very confusing one to navigate: different types of assessments, various organizations, criteria for this...grounds for that...hospital one day, discharged hours later... The different systems can be hard to understand. Insert YBR here.
I have over a decade in various areas of mental health nursing including: forensics, case management of individuals who served time and reintegrating back into the community, crisis intervention, working with police and determining if grounds exist to convey individuals to hospital on an involuntary basis. I created YBR to help you and your loved ones navigate the sometimes complex world of mental health services, and lessen the confusion. I hope this service can empower you with the tools that you need
