This professional toolkit was created during my time at Young Caregivers Association. Working with YCA's budget, mission, and vision, I was able to create this flip book style toolkit that explores young caregivers, their needs, their stigmas, and implements a creatively planned three-prong approach to leading, supporting, and empowering young caregivers in various professional contexts.

Along with the conversation prompts, coping skills, and tangible activities included - I also researched and created ample tip sheets within the book for specific reasons of care (examples: how to support young caregivers who have parents in palliative care, or young caregivers supporting parents with addiction). Upon completion, the book went through various peer reviews, as well as was reviewed by young caregivers themselves for accuracy and inclusion.

This mascot was illustrated by me during my time at Young Caregivers Association. This charity works with young people who possess caregiving roles at home. This often occurs during critical developmental times, so the Echo mascot helps bridge the gap between young caregivers and their identity. A turtle was chosen by young caregivers, as turtles "rides the waves of life" and "carries their home on their back". The name was also voted on by young caregivers, because an "echo" insists repetitive, returning connotations that can combat loneliness and isolation.

This book is a Young Caregiver Creative Journal that I created for Young Caregivers Association. The book is a blank canvas with prompts that young caregivers can complete as journal entries. Children and youth can use their own individuality and personal set of skills to complete the journal either with a facilitator, or on their own. The journal contains 60+ creative prompts aimed to aid the individual to process tough emotions and reflect on their roles inside and outside of caregiving.

During my creative writing undergraduate, I had the privilege of working with Brock University Creative Writing Club (as well as individual writers within the community) to help create chapbooks and zines of poetry. Pictured are two chapbooks; one entitled "Inkspots" and one entitled "Your and Yours".

These guided "In Memory Of" journals were a personal passion project to help people grieve and process the loss in a healthy, safe, memorable way. There are two different versions: one for the loss of pets, and one for the loss of humans. These compact but meaningful books are 8x8 inches. There are 22 prompted pages as well as 4 blank pages for the grieving individual to fill in at their own pace. Grief journals are my pride and joy. Click the title to purchase through my Etsy.
