Meet Jenan, Founder & Trainer
Welcome!
I’m Jenan Nasserdeen, Founder and Director of Catalyst Training Services.
In 2015, I created Catalyst Training Services as a certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor. I am passionate about educating and empowering individuals, groups, and communities on the importance of mental health and wellness. I want to bring awareness to the impact of mental health, equipping you, the participant, with tools to become confident allies to those who may be struggling.
As a Child and Youth Counsellor, I have over 20 years of experience working with some of Alberta’s most vulnerable population. I specialize in High-Risk youth work, focusing on areas of trauma, addiction, gang affiliation, and sexual exploitation, spanning a diverse range of settings including schools, correctional institutions, and community-based housing. I also hold certifications in Trauma Informed Care training, First Aid, Applied Suicide Intervention Training (ASIST) and Verbal Crisis De-escalation.
When I’m not empowering you to end the stigma associated with mental health, I can be found hiking in the sunshine with my dog by my side, or hopping on a plane, seeking my next adventure.
Together, we can become catalysts for change and create positive mental well-being for all Canadians. Are you ready?
