Recently, Lisa Dennis was a guest on Black Canada Talking™.
Lisa Dennis is an award winning entrepreneur who received her Masters of Science from Dalhousie and is now doing doctoral studies at Boston University. A rehabilitation professional since 1999 she has experience in program coordination, setting up rehab departments, case management, community care, teaching at a private college, culturally competent clinical practice, as well as working with aboriginal youth-at-risk and inmates. She owns her own rehabilitation company in Halifax offering brain rehab services to people of all ages. She has struggled with personal experiences with her own brain-based disorders and this drives her to find cutting edge interventions to help heal brains. She has training in rehab techniques to help with trauma, mental illnesses, concussions, reading and learning difficulties. She also has a special interest in post traumatic slave syndrome, the school to prison pipeline, and in finding ways to improve health outcomes and services for black people. She is a proud African Canadian from Montreal and mother of 2 teenagers. She enjoys a good boxing, Zumba, or weight training workout.
