Alexandria Yaeger Tulloch

I am a graduate of the University of Manitoba. I graduated in May 2009 with my B.A. honours in Psychology. My honours thesis was based on the survey done in Winnipeg. I examined male and female differences in mental health help seeking.

Since graduating in 2009 I have spent some time travelling and working. I have been working in the Applied Behaviour Analysis program at St. Amant in Winnipeg since 2010. I have a fun and rewarding job in which I get to help children with ASD develop all kinds of skills as well as help families with some of the challenges that they face.

I recently got married (July 23, 2011) and have earned a promotion at my full-time job. In my spare time I like to spend time with my husband, family, and friends and help out with the Young Adult team of Mobilizing Minds as much as possible.

In the future I would like to apply to a masters program in School Psychology and continue to work with and help children, adolescents, and young adults.

What do you like about being involved with Mobilizing Minds?

I believe that Mobilizing Minds is conducting very important research that is relevant to me and my peer groups. I love getting to help out with a project that will benefit so many people.

What do you hope to achieve with Mobilizing Minds?

I hope that Mobilizing Minds can provide important information to young adults across Canada and help them to have a better understanding of anxiety and depression. I hope we can provide some really good information to those young adults and help them to find ways to access the help they need. I also hope that we can provide information to mental health service providers so they can understand the best ways to provide information to young adults and what kinds of help they want.
