Krista McCabe

With 15 years of experience as a registered social service worker, I have dedicated myself to supporting individuals affected by mental health and addictions. My expertise spans both community-based and clinical settings within the expansive healthcare system. Throughout my career, I successfully managed clinical case management for clients diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, often dealing with concurrent and treatment-resistant conditions. Additionally, I excelled in facilitating and managing an award-winning psycho-social recreation program, as well as providing residential counseling in supported housing and crisis beds environments. I am a strong advocate for recovery promotion, peer support, and stigma reduction. Demonstrating compassion and integrity, I hold a deep respect for the clients I support. As a leader, I create a positive and motivating work environment. Having recently relocated to Nova Scotia, I am eager to contribute to the local mental health and addictions community.
