Betty works for the Shalem Mental Health Network, based in Hamilton, Ontario, where she serves as the Director of Shalem’s “Linking Lives/Building Attachment” program and as the Artistic Director of Shalem’s “RE-create Outreach Art Studio” (a drop-in studio for street-involved youth in downtown Hamilton). Betty works primarily with children, adolescents and their families as well as adults who have experienced trauma and loss in their lives.
