Kelli Nicholson

Lifeline for the Frontline is a service that offers information, resources and therapy specific to the needs of first responders. Kelli Nicholson was a police officer in the Niagara Region for 10 years and a child protection worker for 5 years. She understands how operational responsibilities impact mental health. As a therapist she provides professional, empathic services from a position of non judgement because she understands how hard it is for these brave women and men to come forward and seek help. As a re-integration therapist she works with those who have been away from work due to an occupational stress injury by working with employers to assist with a smooth and safe transition back to regular duties, always in accordance with the best interest of her client. Last but certainly not least she works with the families of first responders. Helping them to understand what struggles their loved one may be facing and assisting with strategies for rebuilding trust and connection.
