Speaker Bio

Chelsea Canning has always had a love of helping others. It started at an early age, and laid the path for a Baccalaureate in Developmental Psychology with a minor in Lifespan Development, a Masters in Social Work, and then a Licensure in Clinical Social Work.

Ms. Canning has worked with emotionally dysregulated children, mentally ill substance dependent adults, Disabled Individuals, and older adults. She has also performed Medical Social Work in a Skilled Nursing Facility, County Psych Assessments, Discharge Planning and In-Utilization Management, and participated in the Linkages program which aims to keep seniors and disabled individuals independent. Her work with the Linkages program and the close relationship she had with her grandparents taught her to respect the older generation, and inspired the work she does now. She feels strongly that we benefit greatly when we stop and listen to our elders, as their experience and wisdom will guide us. It just so happens Chelsea is a very good listener.
