Mental Health Court Alberta

Individuals suffering from a variety of mental health disorders have a disproportionately high level of interaction with the criminal justice system when compared to the general population. Often the symptoms of mental health disorders have contributed, at least in some small way, to the individual being charged coming before the Court.

Prior to law school, Stacey worked at Alberta Hospital Edmonton’s neuropsychology department where she worked one-on-one with individuals suffering from acute psychosis.
