Manisha, MHC Peer SupportHi, I’m Manisha! I am currently enrolled in my second year of the Business program, majoring in Accounting. After I graduate, I want to pursue the Nursing program. As a peer supporter, my goal is to provide a welcoming space where students feel heard, supported and encouraged throughout their journey.
Brooke Irwin, MHC Peer Support
Hello. My name is Chela and I am a Peer Support Worker at MHC. I have worked in the Human Services field for 15 years now. I previously focused on psychology, and I am now a Child and Youth Care Counselling student. I am a total chatter box so if you need anything, please do not hesitate to pop in and say hi!
Emma Godlonton, MHC Peer SupportHey everyone! My name is Emma and in June 2025, I graduated with a Criminal Justice Diploma. Currently, I am in my first year of a Social Work Diploma. I am always around - you most likely will find me in Chaplain George's room, in the Common Grounds hallway with Recovery Alberta, or in The Den with Students Association. Don’t be a stranger, say hi!
