Julie Burnett, RSW

My experience is deeply rooted in aiding adult women and youth who have fled intimate partner violence. Through roles encompassing emergency shelters, transitional housing support, family court assistance, and recovery groups, I have honed my skills in
guiding survivors at every stage of their healing journey.

In addition, I possess a comprehensive background in working closely with youth and their caregivers across diverse environments. My adeptness lies in reshaping family dynamics to foster connections and belonging among family members, facilitating a harmonious family unit

While my focus has been on aiding women and their families, my scope extends to assisting individuals facing chronic homelessness, severe mental health challenges, and linguistic minorities in accessing legal services and public legal information.

Presently, I am further expanding my expertise to encompass supporting those navigating religious trauma and faith deconstruction.
