Welcome to Hot Topics! Gabrielle Crichlow and returning guest Kellina Powell tackle the tough discussion of mental health.

Who is Kellina Powell?
From Kellina: "I am passionate about guiding and supporting people with disabilities to try different tools and strategies to reach their fullest potential, especially within the deaf community. I have a huge passion for seeing people succeed! My unique experiences living in two different worlds, the hearing and deaf communities, make me a passionate advocate for people with disabilities to be heard and improve their mental health. With a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a post-graduate certificate in Mental Health and Addiction, I have sound knowledge of the brain's functions, which provides further insight and understanding in assessing individuals with their mental health. I am also aware of the many different counselling strategies and techniques used to administer mental health support. My experiences and training have led me to be very open and see outside of the box to develop excellent communication and listening skills, making me a competent and suitable coach. As the Deaf Queen Boss, my goal is to teach others how to be inclusive and change how we approach mental health among people with disabilities and within the deaf community. Growing up, I never had a therapist, teacher, or role model who looked like me and could relate to what it was like to be deaf, who could help me navigate life with different strategies for a deaf person in a hearing world. We must use our voices to overcome our issues and support each other!"
