During National Addictions Awareness Week, and at other events, she facilitated several workshops on alcohol and drug abuse and their close relationship to suicide. Due to the loss of immediate family members, addictions and bereavement topics are two workshops Michaella can facilitate with an open heart as she has witnessed the effects of both. She is passionate about facilitating workshops for young women on reproductive health and self-esteem. She speaks to students about the effects of bullying, decision-making and overcoming negative experiences. She has been called to speak at national conferences like “Honoring our Strengths” in Ottawa, ON and continues to travel to First Nation communities to motivate youth.
