Robyn Evans

Robyn’s passion for Nova’s Ark and supporting our participants and their families began during her internship in 2018. Robyn has taken on many different positions within Nova’s Ark throughout the years and is thrilled to be here as our full-time master’s level social worker. Robyn strongly believes that every individual has their own strengths and can reach their full potential in a supportive environment that listens to their needs. Robyn has felt the positive impact that Nova’s Ark can provide through the unique and therapeutic environment and is thrilled to be supporting our incredible guests and their families.

Robyn’s main focus is providing counselling to individuals and groups to work towards their personalized goals. In addition to one-to-one counselling support, Robyn facilitates group therapy sessions that support our participants to connect with others in a safe environment, build their coping strategies, and work towards other social communication goals. Robyn utilizes “Out of The Box” ideas to help our participants address their mental health challenges and empower them through strength-based and person-centred support. Robyn aims to build connections with families and community supports to collaborate on program plans but also to ensure the entire family unit can access support. Robyn has prior experience in the school board and works with school staff to support our participants in a school environment. She liaises with other agencies to ensure consistency, share ideas and to ensure our participant's needs are being met. Additionally, Robyn provides intermediate mentoring to university social work students working towards their master's degrees and future careers.
