Meagan Snyder (she/her) is an uninvited guest on Turtle Island. She has lived experience with Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and a life-long history of depression and anxiety, resulting in a passion for de-stigmatizing mental health and advocating for peer-led mental health support. For many years Meagan worked at Our Place, Family Resource and Early Years Centre (now sadly closed), where across different seasons of life she witnessed the birth of the first-of-its-kind peer support perinatal mental health program Stork Secrets, later participated in the program as a parent, and later oversaw its transition to SHORE Centre in 2022. Now a pedagogical consultant, she is a passionate advocate for socially just pedagogies in early learning settings, and is a Registered Early Childhood Educator and Ontario Certified Teacher (P/J) with a Masters degree in Child Study and Education (JICS/OISE/UT).
