Kelsey Clark
Registered Social Worker
Kelsey has been a counsellor with Evergreen Oasis since August 2023. As a youth, she struggled with anxiety and ADHD and did not receive diagnosis to lack of resources and education within mental health. She feared counselling as she tended to have a difficult time opening up to others and did not understand what she was dealing with. Becuase of this, she decided she wanted to embark in a career of helping others, and she got her Indigenous Social Work Degree from the First Nations University of Canada. She has been a RSW since 2017, and has a wealth of experience working within First Nations Communities and Saskatoon, in a harm reduction focused position.
Kelsey's area of expertise is working with individuals 13 years and older who are struggling with mental health, addicitions, criminal justice involvement, gang affiliation and suicide/self harm tendancies.
