Wilma Schroeder, BN, MMFT, promotes family and community health in her new role as a self-employed Family Health Consultant. She facilitates a 6-week family psychoeducation program at the Manitoba Schizophrenia Society. As well, she provides workshops as an independent contractor for the Crisis and Trauma Resource Institute on topics related to mental health, trauma and crisis management and has travelled to various First Nations communities in Manitoba and North Western Ontario to present these. In these small communities, the health workers are frequently all related to each other, so the workshop is essentially given to an extended family group. Most recently, she has provided education to family support workers from ten small First Nations communities. Wilma serves on the Board of Directors of the Jessie Home, a home for girls in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She also provides consultation upon request to families living with a mental illness. Wilma served as a co-chair and member of the IFNA Communications Committee from 2013-2020. For more information, contact IFNA member, Wilma Schroeder.
