Rachael Lawrence

My professional background is vast and varied; working and volunteering in community mental health and substance use and recovery, youth mental health, mental health in seniors and families, suicide intervention and prevention initiatives, and education. I am also passionate about issues related to justice, equity, and inclusion.

I have a deep commitment to addressing barriers to care for mental health both inside and outside of the workplace, and am continuously having conversations about the balance of challenge and change. Psychological health and safety in the workplace and workplace wellness are particularly important to me as I believe in education and experience as a vehicle for change for the better. Psychological health and safety requires that people remain at the heart of workplace policies and processes – something I firmly believe in.

Outside of my work with Your Health Space, I enjoy being outdoors when the weather’s great, and reading indoors when it’s not! I love trying new things in the kitchen, and watching movies with my cat, Garfield.
