Hello, my name is Russell but most people call me Russ. I am a former basketball player and have traveled all over the world including Spain and Brazil. I currently work at the National Ballet of Canada as a overnight on call head staff member for children fifteen to eighteen years of age. I have worked with children ages 18 months to 12 Year of age as an ECA/ECE at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre and have been doing so for the last five years although I am working part time there currently. I also love working with special needs children. I am drawn to arts and crafts, coloring and painting as well as taking time to relax and look after my mental health happiness.
My personal project is to shine a light on mental healthI believe in Mental Health Awareness classes should be mandatory to move onto the next grade level
Mental Health is being overlooked and its not fair for the younger generation to have no tools to deal with mental health issues if they arise.
