Avery Jardine is a busy first-year student at the New Brunswick Community College in Fredericton, looking forward to a career as an early childhood educator.
It’s a path she hopes will be fulfilling. She said working with children in any capacity always makes her happy.
But recently, Jardine, 19, has been plunged back into a painful part of a mental health journey she hoped she had left behind.
She no longer has access to a psychiatrist.
In her earlier teenage years, Jardine said she was told she had symptoms of borderline personality disorder, a condition that she says means she can “be totally fine one day and the next day plummet to absolute crisis mode.”
Jardine was provided access to a psychiatrist through Horizon Health Network.
