Charmaine Hammond is a professional speaker, best selling/award winning author and Executive Producer of an animated movie we'll talk about in this conversation. She was a crisis response worker, a correctional officer, family mediator and social worker having a long standing career in mental health and resilience. She then moved into teaching the principles of resilience, conflict resolution and collaboration. She has worked with many first responders across Canada, has been contracted to provide training and facilitation to several communities post disaster, has written books and articles on the topics of resilience and she and her dog Toby volunteered for four years in a psychiatric hospital where he was an animal assisted therapy dog (and she got to support him as he supported patients). Charmaine now provides training programs and presentations to corporations, government, non profit organizations and everything in between.
