Lynn Yetman - Member Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : I rise to recognize Lynn Yetman on her retirement after seven years as the Executive Director of the Healthy Minds Cooperative in Dartmouth South.

As a passionate mental health advocate, Lynn has led the co-operative with a firm commitment to its mission to create a supportive, stigma-free space for those living with mental health and addiction challenges. During her tenure, she fostered and maintained a strong connection to peer-led, trauma-informed programming and to partners of the co-op and communities across Nova Scotia, including our office.

Outside of this role, Lynn has been a strong advocate for social justice, having been involved in committees and boards on issues related to homelessness and women involved in the criminal justice system, as well as ongoing participation in the community health board.

Please join me in thanking Lynn for her years of service and wishing her a very well-earned retirement.
