About the Facilitator
Susan Mukanik
Susan Mukanik (B.Ed’88) is an educator who taught FSL and English Language Arts in Alberta. Recently retired, she continues to pursue her interest in supporting those who suffer from mental health issues as well as teaching skills to caregivers struggling to support their loved ones. In her search, she found DBT skills which improved her relationship with her son who was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Early on she recognized how valuable these skills would be for teachers within a classroom setting knowing that they would greatly improve interactions with students, parents, and other educators. Susan strongly believes that teachers who possess these skills will not only experience a transformation within their classroom, as well as in their personal lives. She is excited to share her knowledge with you.
