Cathy Cartwright is a registered social worker (RSW) and an accredited family mediator (AccFM) experienced in working with distressed men, women and children over the past 19 years. Services have included assisting both victims and accused persons of domestic violence, the families and children in child protection matters, people who have suffered from self-esteem issues, relationship issues, and losses.

 "I believe people cannot separate their biological, psychological, social and spiritual components; thus knowing oneself, within one’s environment, and making meaning of one’s situation, is healthy. I am aware that people struggle with stress, grief, loss and relationship issues, including parenting and co-parenting, and financial issues."

 Cathy has provided information at forensic conferences at the Mental Health Centre in Penetang and through the Ontario Association of Children's Aid Society. She has volunteered at Rainbow's helping grieving children, as well as supporting victims of crime with the Police Service. 

 "I believe that fairness, cooperation and sharing resources are vital to building lasting relationships, where people can be counted on personally and professionally to help each other by giving of themselves and their time."
