Speakers Bio:
Before coming to B.C. in the early 90's Joe served as a school psychologist in the public schools of New York for eighteen years. He then completed a doctorate in psychology and for seven years directed a multi-disciplinary out-patient treatment centre that utilized the services of over 20 mental health professionals, treating the full range of mental health related problems.
Since coming to Vancouver he has been teaching a wide variety of courses at the Justice Institute of B.C. focusing on trauma counselling, assessment and treatment planning, restorative justice, and adventure-based counselling, as well as offering training in counselling-related topics at other post-secondary institutes.
In the past six years Joe has also been working in First Nations communities in B.C., the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories, as well as with the Inuit of Northern Quebec, assisting with the healing from the multi-generational effects of residential school trauma, and training front-line staff to respond to the high incidence of violence, suicidal, addictive, and other self-harming behaviours in their communities.
Joe is also known for his work as the former director of the Vancouver Ocean Challenge Society, where, in the mid-90's, he led groups of at-risk youth on challenging marine and wilderness expeditions in a therapeutic milieu. This program was nominated for the 1997 Violence Prevention Award.
He currently provides workshops at professional conferences as well as offers consultation and training at a variety of organizations across Canada.
